Heading: Readmittance into the United States of Wrongfully

Text: Deported Nonimmigrants 85 Plaintiffs argue on appeal that the district court erred when it denied their request for an injunction ordering the INS to readmit nonimmigrants whose applications were wrongfully denied, and who were consequently deported, because of INS regulations now held to be invalid. We recognize that some courts have issued similar relief. See, e.g., Wiedersperg v. INS, 896 F.2d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir.1990) (alien deported following criminal conviction may re-enter the country after the conviction was vacated); Mendez v. INS, 563 F.2d 956, 959 (9th Cir.1977) (alien deported in proceeding which violated due process may re-enter country and reopen deportation proceeding). In the present case, however, plaintiffs have not sufficiently identified applicants in any of the three categories who are living outside the United States because they were wrongfully expelled. See Catholic Social Services, 956 F.2d at 923 (plaintiffs' parole request denied when they failed to identify any class member who qualified for exception to general rule that courts may not review deportation orders of those who have departed United States). Under these circumstances, we cannot conclude that the district court erred in denying the injunction requested by plaintiffs.
