Luis Ceballos-Ramirez v. Loretta E. Lynch

Opinion

NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS NOV 3 2016 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT

LUIS CARLOS CEBALLOS-RAMIREZ, No. 15-70460

Petitioner, Agency No. A200-244-346

v. MEMORANDUM* LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals

Submitted October 25, 2016**

Before: LEAVY, SILVERMAN, and GRABER, Circuit Judges.

Luis Carlos Ceballos-Ramirez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for

review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to

reconsider its denial of a motion to reopen removal proceedings to seek

administrative closure. We dismiss the petition for review.

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s denial of Ceballos-Ramirez’s

motion to reconsider its underlying discretionary decision regarding administrative

closure. See Diaz-Covarrubias v. Mukasey, 551 F.3d 1114, 1120 (9th Cir. 2009)

(this court lacks jurisdiction to review the denial of administrative closure for lack

of a sufficiently meaningful standard to evaluate the decision); Vilchiz-Soto v.

Holder, 688 F.3d 642, 644 (9th Cir. 2012) (limiting the court’s jurisdiction to

review the BIA’s denial of a motion to reconsider its underling discretionary

determination).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
