The following excerpt is from Rojas v. Immigration & Naturalization Serv., 244 F.3d 1191 (9th Cir. 2001):
IIRIRA 309(c)(4)(E) provides "there shall be no appeal of any discretionary decision under section 212(c), 212(h), 212(i), 244, or 245 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (as in effect as of the date of the enactment of this Act)." Citing 309(c)(4)(E), in Kalaw v. INS, we dismissed for lack of jurisdiction a petition for review of a discretionary decision by the BIA denying suspension of deportation under INA 244. 133 F.3d 1147, 1150-52 (9th Cir. 1997) ("(the plain language of IIRIRA precludes our direct review of the Attorney General's discretionary decisions").
