UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

United States Court of Appeals


Tenth Circuit

JAN 30 2002

PATRICK FISHER
Clerk

JIU DONG,
Petitioner,
v.
JOHN ASHCROFT, U.S. Attorney
General; IMMIGRATION &
NATURALIZATION SERVICE,

No. 01-9548
(BIA No. A77 293 813)
(Petition for Review)

Respondents.
ORDER AND JUDGMENT *
Before HENRY, BRISCOE, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

After examining the petition for review and related materials, this panel has
determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the
determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G).
The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the
doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. The court
generally disfavors the citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order
and judgment may be cited under the terms and conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3.

Petitioner seeks review of the decision of the Board of Immigration


Appeals dismissing his appeal of the immigration judges order of deportation.
In addition, petitioner seeks a stay of removal during the pendency of proceedings
before this court. Our initial review of the materials filed by petitioner caused us
to question our jurisdiction because the petition for review did not appear to be
either timely filed under 8 U.S.C. 1252(b)(1) or filed in the correct circuit under
8 U.S.C. 1252(b)(2). See Kennedy v. Lubar, 273 F.3d 1293, 1301 (10th Cir.
2001) (We have routinely recognized our ability to raise the question of
appellate jurisdiction sua sponte . . . .). Accordingly, on December 26, 2001,
we issued an order directing petitioner to show cause why the petition for review
should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. The time for response has since
passed, and petitioner has not responded to the show cause order.
We, therefore, DISMISS the petition for review for lack of jurisdiction and
DENY the motion for stay of removal as moot.
Entered for the Court,

PER CURIAM
