Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Lucio Rosas, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his request for a continuance and entering an order of removal. We dismiss the petition for review.

Rosas sought a continuance of his removal proceedings in order to file a motion to vacate the state convictions that rendered him ineligible for cancellation of removal. Rosas’ motion to vacate has now been denied. Oklahoma v. Rosas, No. CM-1997-00242 (June 20, 2013). Accordingly, his challenge to the denial of the continuance to pursue that relief is moot. See Pedrozar-Padilla v. Gonzales, 486 F.3d 1362, 1364 n. 2 (9th Cir.2007); see also United States v. Strong, 489 F.3d 1055, 1059 (9th Cir.2007) (“An appeal is moot when, by virtue of an intervening event, a court of appeals cannot grant any effectual relief whatever in favor of the appellant.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
