United States Tenth Circuit

A petition for review challenging a removal order is dismissed in part for lack of jurisdiction, and denied in part over meritless claims that: 1) the immigration court's interpretation of 8 U.S.C. section 1229b(d)(1), the so-called "stop-time" rule, violated his right to due process and equal protection; and 2) his removal proceedings violated the Vienna Convention and an INS regulation on consular notification rights.
