2 16-70526
Rivas-Aguilar establishes no error in the agency’s administrative closure
determination, where the BIA denied based on the factors applicable at the time of
its decision, and he did not request administrative closure before the IJ. See
Gonzalez-Caraveo v. Sessions, 882 F.3d 885, 891 (9th Cir. 2018).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
