NOT FOR PUBLICATION


MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.


On Petition for Review of an Order of the

Board of Immigration Appeals

Before: RAWLINSON, MURGUIA, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.

Ruperto Tellez-Meza, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings based on ineffective assistance of counsel. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction over Tellez-Meza's petition for review of the denial of his motion to reopen because the agency's underlying order terminating his removal proceedings was not a final order of removal. See Alcala v. Holder, 563 F.3d 1009, 1013-16 (9th Cir. 2009); see also 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(9) ("Judicial review of all questions of law and fact . . . shall be available only in judicial review of a final order [of removal].").

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
