Another Immigration Case re: administrative review: Appellate court lacked jurisdiction to consider whether an immigration judge has authority to determine whether an alien is a lawful permanent resident, since alien did not present this claim at administrative proceedings. Alien convicted of a felony within the United States was inadmissible as a permanent resident; where such alien was erroneously admitted, that alien was ineligible for relief under former Sec. 212(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, even if the error was not based on any fraud by alien.
