Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted August 2, 2011 **
Before: RYMER, IKUTA, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
Woong Soon Jang and Hee Soon Jang, natives and citizens of South Korea,
petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing
their appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. Our jurisdiction is

governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for
review.
We dismiss the petition for review as it applies to Woong Soon Jang in light
of the BIA’s December 7, 2010, order reopening and terminating his removal
proceedings. See Lopez-Ruiz v. Ashcroft, 298 F.3d 886, 887 (9th Cir. 2002)
(order).
We reject Hee Soon Jang’s contention that the government failed to establish
his removability by clear and convincing evidence, because he conceded
removability. See Young Sun Shin v. Mukasey, 547 F.3d 1019, 1024 (9th Cir.
2008) (“[W]here the alien concedes removability, the government’s burden in this
regard is satisfied.” (citation and quotation omitted)).
Hee Soon Jang’s contention that the government should be equitably
estopped from ordering his removal is unavailing. See Sulit v. Schiltgen, 213 F.3d
449, 454 (9th Cir. 2000) (“[E]stoppel against the government is unavailable where
petitioners have not lost any rights to which they were entitled.”); cf. Salgado-Diaz
v. Gonzalez, 395 F.3d 1158, 1165-68 (9th Cir. 2005).
Hee Soon Jang’s remaining contentions are not persuasive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
