Adelabu v. Gonzales ( 2006 )

MEMORANDUM ^***

Kolawale Adelabu appeals pro se from the district court’s judgments denying three 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas petitions.

To the extent Adelabu challenges his detention, we dismiss the appeals as moot because Adelabu was removed to Nigeria on September 24, 2003. See Picrin-Peron v. Rison, 930 F.2d 773, 775 (9th Cir.1991).

To the extent Adelabu challenges his removal proceedings, we construe Adelabu’s § 2241 petitions as petitions for review. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(5); Alvarez-Barajas v. Gonzales, 418 F.3d 1050 (9th Cir.2005). Because the Board of Immigration Appeals did not decide Adelabu’s appeal until after Adelabu filed the instant § 2241 petitions, we dismiss the petitions for review for lack of jurisdiction. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1); Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 677-78 (9th Cir.2004).

DISMISSED.
