Israel Cuevas-Alarcon v. Eric H. Holder, Jr.
Opinion
Israel Cuevas-Alarcon petitions for review of an order issued by the Department of Homeland Security reinstating a prior removal order against him. For reversal, Cuevas-Alarcon argues that the reinstate *434 ment violates due process because the underlying removal order is legally deficient. This challenge is not properly before us: the prior removal order “is not subject to being reopened or reviewed,” see 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(5), and Cuevas-Alarcon has not raised any colorable constitutional or legal claim appropriate for appellate review, see Molina Jerez v. Holder, 625 F.3d 1058, 1062, 1067-68 (8th Cir. 2010) (describing limited appellate jurisdiction to review reinstatement order; mere recitation of constitutional or legal terms is insufficient to invoke jurisdiction).
Accordingly, the petition is denied. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
