The Fifth Circuit affirmed the denial of asylum, withholding of removal, and Convention Against Torture protection to a Nepalese citizen who failed to appear at his immigration hearing. The court held that the petitioner's erroneous assumptions about prior notices and venue motions did not constitute the 'exceptional circumstances' required to vacate an in absentia removal order.

The Fifth Circuit denied a petition for review, upholding the Board of Immigration Appeals' refusal to grant deferral of removal under the Convention Against Torture.

JOSE GUADALUPE NAVARRETE v. PAMELA BONDI, Attorney General

The Ninth Circuit dismissed a petition for review challenging only a denial of Convention Against Torture protection because such an order does not merge into a final order of removal. The court held that appellate jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(1) requires a challenge to the underlying removal order, not a standalone challenge to the CAT denial.
