Opinion:
ORDER
As the Petitioner-Appellant is now a fugitive from custody, the "fugitive disen-titlement" doctrine precludes him from pursuing this appeal. See Degen v. United States, 517 U.S. 820, 116 S.Ct. 1777, 135 L.Ed.2d 102 (1996); Antonio-Martinez v. INS, 317 F.3d 1089 (9th Cir.2003). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
