(Petition for Review)

ORDER

_________________________________

Before TYMKOVICH, Chief Judge, McHUGH, and EID, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

Petitioner Ivan Gamez-Fimbres seeks review of the Board of Immigration 

Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal of the immigration judge’s order denying his 

application for release on bond. Respondent William Barr filed a motion to dismiss the 

petition for lack of jurisdiction. Mr. Gamez-Fimbres has not responded to the motion to 

dismiss. After reviewing the respondent’s motion, the limited record of the proceedings 

below, and the applicable case law, we have determined that the motion to dismiss should 

be granted.

This court’s jurisdiction in the immigration context is determined by federal 

statute. Specifically, this court has jurisdiction to review final administrative orders of 

removal. 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(1). An order of removal is an administrative determination

that an alien is removable. 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(47)(A); Luna-Garcia v. Holder, 777 F.3d 

1182, 1184 (10th Cir. 2015). But the order of which Mr. Gamez-Fimbres seeks review 

did not determine that he was removable. Instead, the order only denied his request for 

bond. As a result, the order that is the subject of this petition for review is outside our 

statutory authority.

The petitioner’s motion for in forma pauperis status is granted, but the 

respondent’s motion to dismiss is also granted. This petition for review is dismissed for 

lack of jurisdiction.
