We lack jurisdiction over Tellez-Meza’s petition for review of the denial of
his motion to reopen because the agency’s underlying order terminating his
removal proceedings was not a final order of removal. See Alcala v. Holder, 563
F.3d 1009, 1013-16 (9th Cir. 2009); see also 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(9) (“Judicial
review of all questions of law and fact . . . shall be available only in judicial review
of a final order [of removal].”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
