Munoz v. Ashcroft

9th Cir.

339 F.3d 950 (9th Cir. 2003)

2003

Holding

The 9th Circuit lacks jurisdiction to review discretionary hardship determinations; the statutory bar on judicial review of hardship findings applies to both the ultimate determination and the factual findings supporting it.

Practitioner Note

Significant jurisdiction-limiting decision. Courts generally cannot review whether hardship is 'exceptional and extremely unusual.'
