The applicant failed to identify any arguable error in the Federal Magistrate's reasoning or exercise of discretion. The new affidavit and draft notice of appeal merely repeated the applicant's claims and comments on conditions in Pakistan, raised no special circumstances explaining why those matters were not raised earlier, and did not show that the Federal Magistrate erred in concluding that the judicial review application raised no arguable case.
