Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Chang Hoon Kim, a native and citizen of South Korea, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and we deny the petition for review.

We reject Kim’s contention that the government failed to establish removability by clear and convincing evidence, because Kim conceded removability. See Young Sun Shin v. Mukasey, 547 F.3d 1019, 1024 (9th Cir.2008) (“[Wjhere the alien concedes removability, the government’s burden in this regard is satisfied.” (citation and quotation omitted)).

Kim’s contention that the government should be equitably estopped from ordering his removal is unavailing. See Sulit v. Schiltgen, 213 F.3d 449, 454 (9th Cir.2000) (“[Ejstoppel against the government is unavailable where petitioners have not lost any rights to which they were entitled.”); cf. Salgado-Diaz v. Gonzales, 395 F.3d 1158, 1165-68 (9th Cir.2005).

Kim’s remaining contentions are not persuasive.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
