NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FILED SEP 19 2018 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT JUAN RIVAS-AGUILAR, AKA Juan Rivas, No. U.S. COURT OF APPEALS 16-70526 Agency No. A094-942-115 Petitioner, MEMORANDUM* v. JEFFERSON B. SESSIONS III, Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted September 12, 2018** Before: LEAVY, HAWKINS, and TALLMAN, Circuit Judges. Juan Rivas-Aguilar, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny the petition for review. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Rivas-Aguilar establishes no error in the agency’s administrative closure determination, where the BIA denied based on the factors applicable at the time of its decision, and he did not request administrative closure before the IJ. See Gonzalez-Caraveo v. Sessions, 882 F.3d 885, 891 (9th Cir. 2018). PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 2 16-70526
