Vasquez-Castillion v. Holder

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION JUL 19 2010 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT OSCAR VASQUEZ-CASTILLION, No. 08-70663 Petitioner, Agency No. A028-943-689 v. MEMORANDUM * ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted June 29, 2010 ** Before: ALARCÓN, LEAVY, and GRABER, Circuit Judges. Oscar Vasquez-Castillion, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s deportation order. We have jurisdiction under * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Kankamalage v. INS, 335 F.3d 858, 861-62 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for review. The doctrine of res judicata does not bar the government from filing an additional charge of deportability against Vasquez-Castillion because the BIA’s remand order is not a final judgment, rendered on the merits in a separate action. See 8 C.F.R. § 1240.10(e); Valencia-Alvarez v. Gonzales, 469 F.3d 1319, 1323-24 (9th Cir. 2006). PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 2 08-70663
