Shehu v. Mukasey

• Court: Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
• Decided: December 21, 2007
• Docket: 06-60769
• Status: Unpublished

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Bujar Shehu seeks review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals affirming the denial of an application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture. Shehu’s current status is that of a fugitive with an outstanding final order of removal. This court has recently extended the fugitive dis-entitlement doctrine to the immigration context where, as here, the petitioner is a fugitive alien who has evaded custody and failed to comply with a removal order. See Giri v. Keisler, 507 F.3d 833, (5th Cir.2007). Pursuant to Giri, the fugitive dis-entitlement doctrine serves to bar further review of the BIA’s decision.

DENIED.

* Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
