Cantu v. Mukasey

¶1 Jose Alejandro Cantu (“Cantu”) petitions this court for review of an order from the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”). The BIA affirmed the Immigration Judge’s decision granting the respondent’s motion to pretermit Cantu’s request for a waiver of removal pursuant to former 8 U.S.C. § 1182(c) and ordering Cantu removed from the United States. Cantu contends that the BIA erred by determining that he was ineligible for relief pursuant to § 1182(c). The Respondent moves for summary affirmance or, in the alternative, an extension of time to file a brief. All of Cantu’s arguments in support of his petition for review are foreclosed by our precedent. See Vo v. Gonzales, 482 F.3d 363 (5th Cir.2007); Avilez-Granados v. Gonzales, 481 F.3d 869, 871-72 (5th Cir. 2007); Requena-Rodriguez v. Pasquarell, 190 F.3d 299, 308-09 (5th Cir.1999). IT IS ORDERED that the Respondent’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED and Cantu’s petition for review is DENIED. Respondent’s alternative motion for an extension of time is DENIED as MOOT.
