United States First Circuit
Hakim v. Holder, 09-1692
An Indonesian citizen's petition for review of the BIA's decision reversing a grant of applications for asylum and for withholding of removal is dismissed without prejudice as the petitioner filed a petition for judicial review before the IJ had been afforded the opportunity to determine his eligibility for voluntary departure, and if the court exercised jurisdiction in this case, it would be permitting petitioner to circumvent the voluntary departure regulation by allowing him to seek both voluntary departure and judicial review.
