his April 29, 2000, order of expedited removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8
U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review Ochoa’s collateral attack on his 2000
expedited removal order. See Garcia de Rincon v. DHS, 539 F.3d 1133, 1138-39
(9th Cir. 2008) (“Although [8 U.S.C.] § 1252(a)(2)(D) re-vests courts with
jurisdiction to review constitutional claims and questions of law otherwise barred,”
it does not re-vest jurisdiction over expedited removal orders.).
We likewise lack jurisdiction to review Ochoa’s contention that the Violence
Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 precluded
the DHS from reinstating Ochoa’s expedited removal order. See id. at 1137
(stating that our review of a reinstatement order is limited “to the three discrete
inquiries an immigration officer must make in order to reinstate a removal order:
(1) whether the petitioner is an alien; (2) whether the petitioner was subject to a
prior removal order[;] and (3) whether the petitioner re-entered illegally”).
Contrary to Ochoa’s contention, Villa-Anguiano v. Holder, 727 F.3d 873 (9th Cir.
2013), is inapposite because the reinstated removal order in that case was not
expedited.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
