Ramon Puentes v. Alberto Gonzales

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Ramon Puentes v. Alberto Gonzales, 301 F. App'x 579 (8th Cir. 2008)

Ramon Puentes v. Alberto Gonzales

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Ramon Zamora Puentes petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) affirming an Immigration Judge’s denial of cancellation of removal. Because we conclude that Puentes’s petition for review was untimely filed more than 30 days after the BIA issued its final order of removal, we lack jurisdiction to review the order. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1) (“The petition for review must be filed not later than 30 days after the date of the final order of removal.”); Fed. R.App. P. 26(a) (computation of time); Boudaguian v. Ashcroft, 376 F.3d 825, 827 (8th Cir. 2004) (order denying relief from removal is final when issued and must be appealed within statutorily pre *580 scribed period; this court has no jurisdiction when petition for review is filed outside that 30-day period).

Accordingly, we dismiss the petition.
