IN REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS

INTERLOCUTORY APPEAL

ON BEHALF OF RESPONDENTS: Pro se

The Department of Homeland Security (OHS) has filed an interlocutory appeal from the
Immigration Judge's May 23, 2017, decision to grant a second continuance in this case. To avoid
piecemeal review of the multiple queries that may arise during the course of removal proceedings,
ordinarily the Board does not entertain interlocutory appeals. See Matter ofM-D-, 24 I&N Dec.
138, 139 (BIA 2007), and cases cited therein. We have on occasion accepted interlocutory appeals
to address significant jurisdictional questions about the administration of the immigration laws, or
to correct recurring problems in the handling of cases by Immigration Judges. See, e.g., Matter of
Guevara, 20 I&N Dec. 238 (BIA 1990, 1991); Matter ofDobere, 20 I&N Dec. 188 (BIA 1990).
The issue of whether the Immigration Judge properly granted the respondents' request for a
continuance does not present a significant jurisdictional question about the administration of the
immigration laws, nor does it involve a recurring problem in Immigration Judges' handling of
cases. Thus, the question raised in this interlocutory appeal does not fall within the limited ambit
of cases where we deem it appropriate to exercise our jurisdiction. Accordingly, the following
order will be entered.

ORDER: The record shall be returned to the Immigration Court with no further action.
