Before: NOONAN, NGUYEN, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.

      Eduardo Coronado-Olea petitions for review of the Department of

Homeland Security’s (“DHS”) reinstatement of a prior order of removal.

Following Coronado-Olea’s petition for review but prior to the submission of this

case, the government vacated and rescinded its decision to reinstate the prior order

of removal. It has since filed a superseding Notice of Intent/Decision to Reinstate

Prior Order,1 notified Coronado-Olea’s counsel of the vacatur of the reinstatement

decision, and served notice on the head of the facility in which Coronado-Olea is

currently detained. Consequently, no reviewable final order of removal exists, and

we lack jurisdiction to consider Coronado-Olea’s petitions. See 8 U.S.C. §

1252(a)(1), (g); see also Ortiz-Alfaro v. Holder, 694 F.3d 955, 957 (9th Cir. 2012)

        Although Coronado-Olea argues to the contrary, we do not find it
problematic that the superseding Notice of Intent/Decision to Reinstate Prior Order
lacks a signature in the decisional portion of the form. This simply signals DHS’s
intent to reinstate the prior order of removal without indicating a decision on the
matter. Moreover, Coronado-Olea cites no case law for the proposition that the
superseding Notice of Intent/Decision to Reinstate Prior Order must be final in
order to vacate the prior order of removal.
