Lucio Rosas v. Eric Holder, Jr.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Lucio Rosas v. Eric Holder, Jr., 597 F. App'x 459 (9th Cir. 2015)

Lucio Rosas v. Eric Holder, Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Lucio Rosas, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the *460 Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his request for a continuance and entering an order of removal. We dismiss the petition for review.

Rosas sought a continuance of his removal proceedings in order to file a motion to vacate the state convictions that rendered him ineligible for cancellation of removal. Rosas’ motion to vacate has now been denied. Oklahoma v. Rosas, No. CM-1997-00242 (June 20, 2013). Accordingly, his challenge to the denial of the continuance to pursue that relief is moot. See Pedrozar-Padilla v. Gonzales, 486 F.3d 1362, 1364 n. 2 (9th Cir. 2007); see also United States v. Strong, 489 F.3d 1055, 1059 (9th Cir. 2007) (“An appeal is moot when, by virtue of an intervening event, a court of appeals cannot grant any effectual relief whatever in favor of the appellant.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
