Before: SCHROEDER, HAWKINS, and GOULD, Circuit Judges.
Jesusa G. Curva appeals from the district court’s order granting summary
judgment to the defendants. We review de novo the district court’s determination
regarding jurisdiction. Robinson v. United States, 586 F.3d 683, 685 (9th Cir.
2009).
The district court lacked jurisdiction over this action. The United States
Citizenship and Immigration Services’ denial of Curva’s application to adjust
status is nonfinal, and she has not exhausted her administrative remedies. See
Cabaccang v. U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Servs., 627 F.3d 1313, 1316-18 (9th
Cir. 2010). We therefore vacate the district court’s order of January 11, 2010, and
remand with instructions to dismiss the action for lack of jurisdiction.
VACATED and REMANDED with instructions.
