Summary Calendar Manjit Singh v. Todd Wallace Blanche, Acting U.S. Attorney General
April 24, 2026·25-60480·Per Curiam·By Raj Patel
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit dismissed a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals order. The court found the petition was filed more than thirty days after the agency decision, rendering it untimely.
Manjit Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitioned for review of an order from the Board of Immigration Appeals denying his motion to reopen. The agency case number was A091 731 672.
The court’s reasoning
The court held that the petition was filed more than thirty days after the Board of Immigration Appeals decision. Consequently, the court dismissed the petition for want of jurisdiction as untimely under Section twelve fifty-two of Title eight of the United States Code.
What it means going forward
The dismissal prevents judicial review of the underlying immigration order due to the missed filing deadline.
