   Before Elrod, Oldham, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
         Juan Moran, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an
   order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) dismissing his appeal from
   a decision of an Immigration Judge (IJ) denying his request for relief under
   former 8 U.S.C. § 1182(c) and ordering him removed. He argues that his due
   process rights were infringed when the IJ denied his request to adduce new

                                    No. 23-60190

   evidence on remand and that the BIA acted contrary to its own caselaw by
   rejecting his argument challenging the IJ’s interpretation of the BIA’s earlier
   remand order. Because relief under former § 1182(c) was discretionary,
   Moran had no due process rights in connection with these proceedings. See
   Ramos-Portillo v. Barr, 919 F.3d 955, 962–63 (5th Cir. 2019). Moreover, the
   BIA did not err in rejecting Moran’s argument regarding the scope of its
   earlier remand order. See Bianco v. Holder, 624 F.3d 265, 273–74 (5th Cir.
   2010). The petition for review is DENIED.
