Ninth Circuit -- Sunny Viloria v. Loretta E. Lynch (12/21)

No general federal jurisdiction to review an immigration claim absent a final order of removal.

Vacating IJ's order barring removal does not give jurisdiction under the removal statute.

Seventh Circuit: Alliance for Water Efficiency v. James Fryer

Magistrate hearing original suit did not have federal jurisdiction, but parties consented to settlement.  Magistrate's subsequent order enforcing settlement went beyond terms of the deal, and is vacated.

Red herrings: First Amendment, prior restraint, Contract law, copyright law, diversity jurisdiction, consent to suit, access to public records.
