What is the scope of the power of the Attorney General to make a discretionary finding in a civil matter?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Jay v. Boyd, 224 F.2d 957 (9th Cir. 1955):
The discretionary power granted the Attorney General is limited only by the latter's self-imposed regulations. United States ex rel. Accardi v. Shaughnessy, 347 U.S. 260, 265, 74 S.Ct. 499, 98 L.Ed. 681. Here it is apparent that the officer complied with the regulation as a matter of substance. We agree with the trial court that the regulations require no special finding in any particular words or language. We have no authority to review the discretionary determination here made. Rehearing denied.
