8 C.F.R. 1003.1(g) (BIA accords no precedential value to its own unreported decisions); BIA Practice Manual, located on the internet at http://www.biahelp.com/BIA_Practice_Manual.html (discourages citation to unpublished decisions (emphasis added): (ii) Board decisions (non-precedent)."Citation to non-precedent Board cases by parties not bound by the decision is discouraged.

Matter of Cisneros, 23 I. & N. Dec. 668, 672 (BIA 2004) ([B]oth the overall design of the statute and Congress' concerns leading to its enactment indicate that the ``stop-time'' rule was not intended to extend to charging documents issued in earlier proceedings. Consequently, we conclude that the ``notice to appear'' referred to in section 240A(d)(1) pertains only to the charging document served in the proceedings in which the alien applies for cancellation of removal, and not to charging documents served on the alien in prior proceedings.).
