View this case - free  

Overview: Citizen's challenge to IJ's denial of his motion for continuance was rendered moot by the dismissal of his wife's I-130 petition. Alternatively, 8 U.S.C.S. § 1252(a)(2)(B) stripped the court of jurisdiction to review the citizen's request for a continuance because § 1252(a)(2)(B) does not allow courts to review discretionary rulings.

Overview: Employee's appeal of his retaliation claim failed because it mattered only that the decision-makers at the employer really believed that the employee had aided a co-worker in committing theft, and the co-worker's written confession that prompted her termination was enough to demonstrate the absence of any material dispute concerning that question.
