Martinez v. Mukasey
Martinez v. Mukasey
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
This is a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying petitioners’ motion for administrative closure and declining to sua sponte reopen petitioners’ removal proceedings.
Respondent’s unopposed motion for summary disposition is construed as a motion for summary disposition in part and a motion to dismiss in part. This court lacks jurisdiction to review the BIA’s refusal to reopen removal proceedings sua sponte. See Ekimian v. INS, 303 F.3d 1153, 1159-60 (9th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, respondent’s unopposed motion to dismiss in part is granted.
Respondent’s unopposed motion for summary disposition in part is granted because the questions raised by this petition for review are so insubstantial as not to require further argument. See United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir. 1982) (per curiam) (stating standard). First, administrative closure is not avail
All other pending motions are denied as moot. The temporary stay of removal shall continue in effect until issuance of the mandate.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
