United States First Circuit

Denial of alien's motion to reopen his removal proceedings is affirmed where the BIA's denial, on the ground that petitioner's non-compliance with the terms of a grant of voluntary departure rendered him statutorily ineligible for the relief that he hoped to obtain through a reopening, was not in error.
