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

   Before Higginbotham, Graves, and Douglas, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          Hemco Theodore is a native and citizen of Haiti. He petitions us to
   review an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) negative reasonable fear and adverse
   credibility findings.
          However, we lack jurisdiction. While his challenge was pending,
   Theodore was removed back to Haiti, thus mooting his petition.                           See
   Mendoza-Flores v. Rosen, 983 F.3d 845, 847 (5th Cir. 2020). Theodore does

                                   No. 22-60410

   not challenge his removal order nor the reinstatement of that order, and we
   do not find he is likely to suffer any collateral consequences from the IJ’s
   decision. See id. at 848; Molina-Dominguez v. Garland, No. 21-60644, 2023
   U.S. App. LEXIS 3232 (5th Cir. Feb. 9, 2023); Brenes-Lezama v. Garland,
   No. 20-60126, 2021 U.S. App. LEXIS 34244 (5th Cir. Nov. 18, 2021).
         Theodore’s petition is therefore DISMISSED as moot.
