Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Western District of Louisiana

USDC No. 03-CV-1013

--------------------

Before SMITH, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Albeiro Antonio Lopez-Jaramillo (“Lopez”) appeals from the

district court’s denial of his petition for review of final

decision of removal. A petition for review of a final order of

removal is to be filed in the court of appeals, not in the

district court. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(2); see also Finlay v.

INS, 210 F.3d 556, 557 (5th Cir. 2000). Thus, the district court

-2-

did not have jurisdiction to consider Lopez’ petition for review

of the final decision of removal. We VACATE the district court’s

judgment and REMAND this case in part with instructions for the

district court to dismiss Lopez’ petition for review of the final

order of removal for lack of jurisdiction. We AFFIRM the

district court’s denial of Lopez’ request for Social Security

benefits. See 42 U.S.C. § 402(n)(1); see also Marcello v. Bowen,

803 F.2d 851, 853, 857 (5th Cir. 1986); 20 C.F.R. § 404.464(a). 

Lopez has not briefed any arguments regarding the district

court’s denial of his petition for a stay of deportation,

therefore that issue is deemed abandoned. See Yohey v. Collins,

985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993). Lopez’ motions for

appointment of counsel on appeal and to receive social security

benefits are DENIED.

AFFIRMED IN PART; VACATED AND REMANDED IN PART; MOTIONS

DENIED.
