Maalouf v. Holder
Maalouf v. Holder
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
Petitioner Elias Maalouf, a native and citizen of Syria, seeks review of a November 5, 2007 order of the BIA denying his motion to reopen his removal proceedings. In re Elias Maalouf No. A35 317 997 (B.I.A. Nov. 5, 2007). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history of the case.
Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(C), we lack jurisdiction to consider Maalouf s petition for review where he was convicted of an aggravated felony and two crimes of moral turpitude, not arising out of a single scheme of criminal misconduct. Notwithstanding that provision, however, we retain jurisdiction to review constitutional claims and “questions of law.” 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D).
Maaloufs argument that the BIA abused its discretion in denying his motion to reopen by failing to consider his evidence is not a question of law where it
For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is DISMISSED. As we have completed our review, the pending motion for a stay of removal in this petition is DISMISSED as moot.
