OPINION
B. FLETCHER, Circuit Judge:
We must decide whether the reinstatement provision enacted as part of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (“IIRIRA”), INA § 241(a)(5), 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(5), applies retroactively to a petitioner who applied for discretionary relief prior to IIRIRA’s effective date.

See Landgraf v. USI Film Prods., 511 U.S. 244, 114 S.Ct. 1483, 128…
