Certain cases raising questions regarding noncitizens' eligibility for relief in immigration court were formerly filed in the district court seeking review by means of habeas corpus of the denial of relief. The Real ID Act of 2005, Pub. L. No. 109-13, 119 Stat. 231 (May 11, 2005), now requires, under INA 242(a)(2)(C), that these cases be raised before the court of appeals on petition for review.
