Joaquin Galindo Sandoval,

Petitioner,

Respondent. ______________________________

Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Agency No. A200 219 246 ______________________________

Before King, Haynes, and Ho, Circuit Judges. Per Curiam: * Joaquin Galindo Sandoval petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (IJ) decision declining to reassess his request for cancellation of removal following a limited remand by the BIA and the denial of his motion to terminate his immigration proceedings.

_____________________ * This opinion is not designated for publication. See 5th Cir. R. 47.5. Case: 25-60212 Document: 42-1 Page: 2 Date Filed: 11/12/2025

No. 25-60212

The BIA did not err in concluding that the IJ could not reassess Galindo Sandoval’s application for removal given the scope of our remand to the BIA and the BIA’s remand to the IJ. See Lion Elastomers, L.L.C. v. NLRB, 108 F.4th 252, 259 (5th Cir. 2024) (noting that agencies are required to comply with this court’s remand orders). The BIA also correctly determined that Galindo-Sandoval’s claims regarding a defect in the notice to appear were foreclosed by this court’s opinion in Castillo-Gutierez v. Garland, 43 F.4th 477, 480 (5th Cir. 2022), overruled in part on other grounds by Wilkinson v. Garland, 601 U.S. 209 (2024). Finally, Galindo Sandoval fails to persuade us that we should hold his case in abeyance. See Mejia-Garcia v. Garland, No. 22-60164, 2023 WL 142084, 1 (5th Cir. Jan. 10, 2023) (unpublished). 1 The petition for review is DENIED.
