United States Sixth Circuit

A petition for review of the BIA's denial of petitioner's motion to reopen his deportation proceedings is denied where: 1) petitioner traveled to Mexico, thus effectively executing his prior outstanding deportation order, and leaving no deportation proceedings to reopen; and 2) petitioner's parole into the U.S. to stand trial for making a false claim of U.S. citizenship did not render his entry legal, and thus petitioner was ineligible for INA section 212(c) relief under the applicable regulation.
