Before WOLLMAN, SMITH, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Ramon Zamora Puentes petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (BIA) affirming an Immigration Judge’s denial of cancellation
of removal. Because we conclude that Puentes’s petition for review was untimely
filed more than 30 days after the BIA issued its final order of removal, we lack
jurisdiction to review the order. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1) (“The petition for review

      1
       Michael J. Mukasey has been appointed to serve as Attorney General of the
United States, and is substituted as respondent pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate
Procedure 43(c).
must be filed not later than 30 days after the date of the final order of removal.”); Fed.
R. App. P. 26(a) (computation of time); Boudaguian v. Ashcroft, 376 F.3d 825, 827
(8th Cir. 2004) (order denying relief from removal is final when issued and must be
appealed within statutorily prescribed period; this court has no jurisdiction when
petition for review is filed outside that 30-day period).

      Accordingly, we dismiss the petition.
                     ______________________________
