Grigorov v. Ashcroft

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit May 9, 2003

Grigorov v. Ashcroft, 62 F. App'x 819 (9th Cir. 2003)

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM***

Petitioner contends that the BIA abused its discretion by not exercising its sua *820sponte authority under 8 C.F.R. § 3.2(a) to reopen the deportation proceeding. Because we do not have jurisdiction to review the BIA’s refusal to reopen sua sponte, see Ekimian v. INS, 303 F.3d 1153, 1159 (9th Cir. 2002); Abassi v. INS, 305 F.3d 1028, 1033 (9th Cir. 2002), the petition is DISMISSED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the *820courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
