United States Second Circuit

Petition to review of Board of Immigration Appeal's denial of motion to reopen deportation proceedings is denied where the law of the case doctrine requires that the present court's ruling in an earlier action involving plaintiff must be followed, and thus plaintiff's argument that she need not make an individualized showing of reliance is rejected.
