Section 2254 and 2255 Cases in the U.S. District Courts, R. 6(a), 28 U.S.C. foil. § 2254 (2006 & Supp. III 2010) (discovery permitted in habeas proceedings for good cause shown); Bracy v. Gramley, 520 U.S. 899, 904, 117 S.Ct. 1793, 138 L.Ed.2d 97 (1997) (discussing discovery standard under the Rules); Aguayo v. Harvey, 476 F.3d 971, 976 (D.C.Cir.2007) (stating that the Rules apply to section 2241 proceedings pursuant to Rule 1(b)). Discovery regarding the lawfulness of Appellant Amanatullah’s detention cannot advance our jurisdictional inquiry because it is irrelevant to that inquiry. The district court therefore did not abuse its discretion in denying discovery on that question. See United States v. Gale, 314 F.3d 1, 6 (D.C.Cir.2003) (citing Braey, 520 U.S. at 909, 117 S.Ct. 1793) (<HOLDING>). B. Adequacy of the Process We next consider
holding under third circuit law that the denial of a motion for reconsideration is reviewed for abuse of discretion holding that denial of discovery in habeas proceedings is reviewed for abuse of discretion holding that the imposition of sanctions is reviewed for abuse of discretion holding under third circuit law that denial of rule 11 sanctions is reviewed for abuse of discretion holding that denial of joinder motion is reviewed for abuse of discretion
