U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT SALVADOR CABRERA ARVIZO, No. 21-1389

Agency No.

Petitioner, A215-562-512 v.

MEMORANDUM* MERRICK B. GARLAND, Attorney General,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the

Board of Immigration Appeals

Submitted July 17, 2023** Before: HAWKINS, S.R. THOMAS, and McKEOWN, Circuit Judges.

Salvador Cabrera Arvizo, a native and citizen of Mexico, challenges the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) denying his motion to reopen and terminate his removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the agency’s denial of a motion

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). to terminate, Dominguez v. Barr, 975 F.3d 725, 734 (9th Cir. 2020), and to reopen, Bonilla v. Lynch, 840 F.3d 575, 581 (9th Cir. 2016).

Cabrera Arvizo’s contention that the defect in his Notice to Appear deprived the immigration judge of jurisdiction over his proceedings is foreclosed by United States v. Bastide-Hernandez, 39 F.4th 1187, 1188, 1193 (9th Cir. 2022) (en banc) (“[T]he failure of an NTA to include time and date information does not deprive the immigration court of subject matter jurisdiction.”).

Because Cabrera Arvizo does not challenge the BIA’s determination that his motion was untimely, we do not address that issue. Lopez-Vasquez v. Holder, 706 F.3d 1072, 1079–80 (9th Cir. 2013).

Our jurisdiction to review BIA decisions denying sua sponte reopening is limited to “reviewing the reasoning behind the decisions for legal or constitutional error.” Bonilla, 840 F.3d at 588. Because Cabrera Arvizo has not demonstrated any legal or constitutional error, we lack jurisdiction. See Lona v. Barr, 958 F.3d 1225, 1235 (9th Cir. 2020) (“[T]here is nothing left for us to review.”).

The temporary stay or removal remains in place until the mandate issues.

PETITION DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
