United States Ninth Circuit

Petition for review of a BIA decision dismissing petitioner's appeal of a removal order is denied where: 1) border officers were permitted to treat petitioner as an applicant for admission based on their conclusion that he had engaged in illegal activity, without waiting for a final administrative determination; and 2) petitioner's claims that his statements admitting the attempt to smuggle his niece across the border were not coerced and did not violate due process.
