   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-1115
   Agency   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with M. Arnold and Murphy, Circuit 
   Judges] 
   Petition for Review - Immigration. Section 106 of the REAL ID Act 
   reflects a congressional intent to preserve the Illegal Immigration Reform 
   and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996's broad efforts to streamline 
   immigration proceedings and to expedite removal while restoring judicial 
   review of constitutional and legal issues, and those purposes are served 
   by holding that Sec. 1252(a)(2)(D) grants no jurisdiction to review an 
   Immigration Judge's purely discretionary decision to deny a continuance 
   of a removal hearing, unless that ruling results in such procedural 
   unfairness as to implicate due process; here, the denial did not implicate 
   due process considerations, and the court had no jurisdiction to review 
   the decision.
