Heading: Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus

Text: Leprich also appeals the denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. In 2003, Leprich petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus solely on the ground that, because the 1987 order was not a final appealable judgment, the order was not a valid revocation of his United States citizenship, and that DHS is, therefore, unlawfully holding him in custody. Because we adopt the district court’s opinion as to the finality of the 1987 order, we find that its judgment entry constituted a valid revocation of Leprich’s citizenship. The government’s detention of Leprich, therefore, is not unlawful, and the district court correctly denied Leprich’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus.
