The Ninth Circuit declined to remand a case for ICE to reconsider its decision to reinstate an order of removal in light of the intervening November 20, 2014 prosecutorial discretion memos.  Notably, however, the court found that the petitioner had requested an exercise of prosecutorial discretion after November 20, 2014, and the request had been denied.  Thus, the court saw no reason to remand.
