FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS MAR 16 2015 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT LUCIO ROSAS, No. 13-71365 Petitioner, Agency No. A096-322-873 v. MEMORANDUM* ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted March 10, 2015** Before: FARRIS, WARDLAW, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges. Lucio Rosas, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his request for a continuance and entering an order of removal. We dismiss the petition for review. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Rosas sought a continuance of his removal proceedings in order to file a motion to vacate the state convictions that rendered him ineligible for cancellation of removal. Rosas’ motion to vacate has now been denied. Oklahoma v. Rosas, No. CM-1997-00242 (June 20, 2013). Accordingly, his challenge to the denial of the continuance to pursue that relief is moot. See Pedroza-Padilla v. Gonzales, 486 F.3d 1362, 1364 n.2 (9th Cir. 2007); see also United States v. Strong, 489 F.3d 1055, 1059 (9th Cir. 2007) (“An appeal is moot when, by virtue of an intervening event, a court of appeals cannot grant any effectual relief whatever in favor of the appellant.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)). PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED. 2 13-71365
