On petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals, Agency No. AO88-620-740, AO88-620-741, and AO88-620-742.
Before LOURIE, PROST, and MOORE, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM .
ORDER
The parties were directed to show cause why this petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals should not be transferred the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. The government responded and argued that the petition should be transferred; Petitioners did not respond.
Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(2), a petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals "shall be filed with the court of appeals for the judicial circuit in which the immigration judge completed the proceedings." The removal proceedings at issue in this case were conducted in Miami, Florida. Thus, we transfer to the Eleventh Circuit.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
This petition is transferred to the Eleventh Circuit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
