The Real ID Act of 2005, Pub. L. No. 109-13, 119 Stat. 231 (May 11, 2005), requires district courts to transfer habeas petitions reviewing final removal orders that were pending on May 11, 2005, the effective date of the REAL ID Act, to the court of appeals. This language specifies cases pending in the district courts, and is silent as to habeas cases that were already pending on appeal in the court of appeals on the effective date of the REAL ID Act. They might be treated as new petitions for review, or as appeals from habeas decisions.
