View this case - free  

Overview: Section 106(c) of the Real ID Act mandated transfer of an alien's habeas petition from a district court because judicial review in an appellate court was the sole and exclusive means to review an 8 U.S.C.S. § 1231(a)(5) order reinstating a prior removal order; thus, the appellate court dismissed the petition because it had reviewed the order.

View this case - free
