Theodoropoulos v. INS | LexisNexis Case Opinion
Theodoropoulos v. INS
June 21, 2002, Submitted ; December 18, 2002, Decided
Docket No. 01-2715
[*164] AMENDED OPINION
F.I. PARKER, Circuit Judge, and WALKER, Chief Judge: 1
[**3] The Immigration and Naturalization Service ("INS") appeals from the September 21, 2001 judgment of the United States District Court for the Western District of New York (Richard J. Arcara, District Judge), which denied the INS's motion to dismiss petitioner-appellee Athanasios Theodoropoulos's petition for a writ of habeas corpus, filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, and granted the writ for the limited purpose of remanding Theodoropoulos's case to the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") for further proceedings. In his petition, Theodoropoulos sought release from detention, a stay of deportation, and an order vacating his deportation order, claiming that because he was convicted before the passage of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214 ("AEDPA"), and the Illegal Immigration [*165] Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-208, 110 Stat. 3009 ("IIRIRA"), he should have been eligible for consideration of discretionary relief pursuant to § 212(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1101 et seq. ("INA"). See 8 U.S.C. § 1182(c) (West 1996) [**4] (codification of former § 212(c)) (repealed as of April 1, 1997 by IIRIRA § 304(b)).
We conclude that Theodoropoulos failed to exhaust his administrative remedies and, thus, that the district court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the petition under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d). Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the district court in its entirety and remand for entry of judgment dismissing the petition.
