United States Ninth Circuit

The jurisdictional bar in 8 U.S.C. section 1252(a)(2)(B)(i) permits the exercise of jurisdiction in cases in which the Board of Immigration Appeals rules that a motion to reopen fails to satisfy procedural standards, but bars jurisdiction where the question presented is essentially the same discretionary issue originally decided.
