UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
FELIX CCAIHUARI-HOYOS,
Petitioner,
v.
ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,
Respondent.
No. 07-74383
Agency No. A070-455-619
MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted June 29, 2010**
Before: ALARCÓN, LEAVY, and GRABER, Circuit Judges.
Felix Ccaihuari-Hoyos, a native and citizen of Peru, petitions for review of
the Board of Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration
judge’s (“IJ”) removal order. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252.
We review de novo legal questions and due process challenges. Vasquez-Zavala v.

Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 1105, 1107 (9th Cir. 2003). We deny in part and dismiss in part
the petition for review.
Ccaihuari-Hoyos’s contention that the government should be estopped from
placing him in removal proceedings rather than deportation proceedings is not
persuasive. Ccaihuari-Hoyos has not shown that the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (“INS”) engaged in affirmative misconduct when it waited
six years between issuing him an Order to Show Cause and lodging a Notice To
Appear with the immigration court. See Cortez-Felipe v. INS, 245 F.3d 1054, 1057
(9th Cir. 2001) (holding that estoppel may be warranted against the government on
account of affirmative misconduct, but not negligence).
We lack jurisdiction to consider Ccaihuari-Hoyos’s contention regarding the
IJ’s duty to hold an evidentiary hearing because he did not raise that issue before
the BIA. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
