U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-3014
Agency
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Bye and Heaney, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - Immigration. Immigration Judge did not abuse
her discretion in denying petitioner's motion to reopen, as the evidence
petitioner sought to introduce through the motion was not new,
unavailable or undiscoverable; nor did the IJ abuse her discretion in
denying petitioner's motion to reconsider, as the decision had a rational
explanation, did not depart from established policies and did not rest on
an impermissible basis. Judge Heaney, dissenting.
