Rafeh-Rafie Ardestani v. United States Dep't of Just., Immigr. & Naturalization Serv., 904 F.2d 1505 (11th Cir. 1990).

Cited 26 times | Published | Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit | 1990 U.S. App. LEXIS 11234, 1990 WL 82267

...11 On May 12, 1989, the Board vacated the award of attorney fees and costs by the immigration judge and denied the application. Disagreeing that deportation proceedings are encompassed by EAJA, the Board reasoned that the binding regulations of the United States Attorney General in 28 C.F.R. section 24.103, providing that deportation proceedings are not within the scope of EAJA, presented "a more fundamental reason" to vacate the decision of the immigration judge....

...ngs under section 242 of the Act are not adjudications under section 554 of the APA. 29 Additional persuasive support that deportation proceedings are not under EAJA is found in the implementing regulation for EAJA by the Attorney General. 28 C.F.R. 24.103 (1982); see 8 U.S.C.

Deportation proceedings have not been added in the most recent promulgation of this list, which includes Drug Enforcement Administration hearings, handicap discrimination hearings and civil rights hearings. 28 C.F.R. 24.103 (1989). This regulation also states that "[i]f a proceeding includes both matters covered by the Act [EAJA] and matters specifically excluded from coverage, any award made will include only fees and expenses related to covered issues." 28 C.F.R. 24.103(b)....

...2778, 2782 , 81 L.Ed.2d 694 (1984); De Cuellar v. Brady, 881 F.2d 1561, 1565 (11th Cir.1989); Shoemaker v. Bowen, 853 F.2d 858, 861 (11th Cir.1988). The Attorney General permissibly interpreted the EAJA phrase "under section 554" by concluding in 28 C.F.R. section 24.103 that deportation proceedings are not covered by the APA and, therefore, are not within the scope of EAJA....
