Thank you for sharing!

Submitted: February 27, 2001

Motion to dismiss a petition for review of a deportation order issued by the Board of Immigration Appeals. Petitioner argues that, although her petition was untimely, we have jurisdiction to review the BIA’s order because extraordinary circumstances prevented her from complying with the filing deadline. We hold that we lack jurisdiction, dismiss her petition, and deny her motion for a stay of deportation as moot.

Sandia Malvoisin, a citizen of Haiti, petitions for a review of a deportation order issued by an immigration judge and affirmed by the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”). Malvoisin did not file her petition within the statutory deadline but argues that her failure to do so is excused because of extraordinary circumstances. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (“INS”) has moved to dismiss her petition for lack of jurisdiction. We conclude that we lack jurisdiction and grant the motion.
