§ 1252. Lemus-Galvan v. Mukasey, 518 F.3d 1081, 1082-83 (9th Cir. 2008).
In his opening brief, Santos states he has been removed. We lack
jurisdiction over the petition for review because Santos’ CAT claim is moot, due to
Santos having been removed to Guatemala. See Kaur v. Holder, 561 F.3d 957, 959
(9th Cir. 2009) (“[W]e cannot give [the petitioner] any relief with respect to
withholding because he has already been deported and he suffers no collateral
consequence from the withholding decision. There is simply no live
controversy.”). Therefore, we dismiss the petition for review.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
