The following excerpt is from Adams v. Witmer, 271 F.2d 29 (9th Cir. 1959):
6 This has been held to be the rule even where a statute says an administrative order shall be "final". See Shaughnessy v. Pedreiro, 349 U.S. 48, 51, 75 S.Ct. 591, 594, 99 L.Ed. 868: "It is more in harmony with the generous review provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act to construe the ambiguous word `final' in the 1952 Immigration Act as referring to finality in administrative procedure rather than as cutting off the right of judicial review in whole or in part."
