United States Eleventh Circuit

Petition for review of an order denying a motion for continuance of removal proceedings is denied where the circuit court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to hear the petition as: 1) petitioner's conviction was a crime "related to a controlled substance" under 8 U.S.C. section 1182(a)(2)(A)(i)(II); and 2) the petition presented no constitutional claim or question of law to confer jurisdiction under section 1252(a)(2)(C) and (D).
