Under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a), our review is limited to final orders of removal.
See Lopez-Ruiz v. Ashcroft, 298 F.3d 886, 887 (9th Cir. 2002). When, as here, “the
BIA remands to the IJ for any reason, no final order of removal exists until all
administrative proceedings have concluded.” Abdisalan v. Holder, 774 F.3d 517,
526 (9th Cir. 2014) (en banc). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction over Xu’s petition
for review.
PETITION DISMISSED.
