S Ct Petitions to Watch

By immigrationprof

SCOTUS Blog has put up a list of “petitions to watch” for the opening Supreme Court conference. Three immigration cases are on the list. 

Docket: 07-1310 Case name: Grullon v. Mukasey Issue: Whether an alien facing deportation must exhaust his administrative remedies before seeking judicial review if the Board of Immigration Appeals has already rejected his argument while sitting en banc.

Docket: 07-1363 Case name: Viracacha v. Mukasey Issue: Whether the Immigration and Nationality Act bars judicial review of whether an alien failed to satisfy an exception to the one-year deadline for filing asylum claims, and, if so, whether the Constitution requires some review. Opinion below (7th Circuit)

Docket: 07-1609 Case name: Gordon v. United States Issue: Whether the presentation of an authentic but invalid green card to border agents starts the statute of limitations for the statute making it illegal for any alien to be “found in” the United States following deportation. Opinion below (7th Circuit)
