On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals, File: A98-116-470.
Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
Bujar Shehu seeks review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals affirming the denial of an application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture. Shehu's current status is that of a fugitive with an outstanding final order of removal. This court has recently extended the fugitive disentitlement doctrine to the immigration context where, as here, the petitioner is a fugitive alien who has evaded custody and failed to comply with a removal order.See Giri v. Keisler,507 F.3d 833, (5th Cir. 2007). Pursuant toGiri, the fugitive disentitlement doctrine serves to bar further review of the BIA's decision.
