IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AMARJEET SINGH,

Petitioner,

 v.

ALBERTO GONZALEZ,

Respondent.

 /

No. C 05-02023 CRB

ORDER DISMISSING CASE

Petitioner filed this habeas corpus petition challenging Respondent’s Order of

Removal on grounds of ineffective assistance of counsel. On May 11, 2005, prior to the

filing of this action, Congress enacted the Real ID Act, effective immediately. Under the

Act, this Court no longer has habeas corpus jurisdiction of petitions challenging removal

orders. Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. Petitioner may

argue the constitutionality of the Act to the Court of Appeals. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 31, 2005
