               Respondent.                       MEMORANDUM *

                      On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                          Board of Immigration Appeals

                              Submitted August 2, 2011 **

Before:        RYMER, IKUTA, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

       Wan Soo Chee, Kum Nam Chee, Sung Ae Chee, and Bong Suk Chee,

natives and citizens of South Korea, petition for review of the Board of

Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s

removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and we deny the

petition for review.

      We reject petitioners’ contention that the government failed to establish

removability by clear and convincing evidence, because they conceded

removability. See Young Sun Shin v. Mukasey, 547 F.3d 1019, 1024 (9th Cir.

2008) (“[W]here the alien concedes removability, the government’s burden in this

regard is satisfied.” (citation and quotation omitted)).

      Petitioners’ contention that the government should be equitably estopped

from ordering their removal is unavailing. See Sulit v. Schiltgen, 213 F.3d 449,

454 (9th Cir. 2000) (“[E]stoppel against the government is unavailable where

petitioners have not lost any rights to which they were entitled.”); cf. Salgado-Diaz

v. Gonzalez, 395 F.3d 1158, 1165-68 (9th Cir. 2005).

      Petitioners’ remaining contentions are not persuasive.

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
