No. 07-60105

Ihsan Al Momani, a native and citizen of Jordan, petitions for review of the
dismissal by the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) of his appeal of the order
of the immigration judge (“IJ”) denying his application for asylum, withholding
of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). The IJ
granted Al Momani’s request for voluntary departure, and the BIA ordered him
to depart voluntarily from the United States within forty-seven days from the
BIA’s January 17, 2007, order. Al Momani apparently failed to depart as or-
dered, and his current deportation status is listed as a “fugitive.”
“[T]he fugitive disentitlement doctrine limits a criminal defendant’s access
to the judicial system whose authority he evades.” Bagwell v. Dretke, 376 F.3d
408, 410 (5th Cir. 2004). We recently have extended the fugitive disentitlement
doctrine to the immigration context where the petitioners were fugitive aliens
who evaded custody and failed to comply with a removal order. Giri v. Keisler,
___ F.3d ___, No. 06-60569, 2007 WL 3276110, at *2-*3 (5th Cir. Nov. 7, 2007)
(per curiam). Because Al Momani has failed to depart from the United States
as ordered and became a fugitive after filing his petition for review with this
court, the fugitive disentitlement doctrine bars further review of the BIA’s deci-
sion. See id.
Accordingly, the petition for review is DISMISSED.
