United States Second Circuit

In a petition for review of a BIA order removing petitioner from the U.S., the petition is denied where, because petitioner challenged a determination committed to the sole discretion of the Attorney General - namely, the credibility and weight accorded to certain evidence - the court of appeals lacked jurisdiction to review her claims.
