Chun Man So v. Reno

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• distinguishing a challenge to continued detention, which was moot following deportation from a challenge to the validity of a final order of removal, which was not moot because of the order’s “potentially lifelong collateral consequences”
• “Mr. So’s challenge to the lawfulness of the length of time that he has been held in the physical custody of the INS is moot. Since Mr. So has already been deported, it is impossible to grant his request for supervised release or release on bond or supervision until he can be deported”
