United States First Circuit

Petition for review of the denial of petitioner's motion to administratively close or stay her removal proceedings is denied where: 1) petitioner did not raise her argument that government counsel incorrectly withheld consent to her motion before the BIA, thus she did not exhaust her administrative remedies on the claim; and 2) there was no colorable claim that the denial of petitioner's motion violated her due process rights.
