United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.

Decided October 20, 2004.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Roberto Gonzalez and Audette, Bazar, Berren & Gonzalez Inc. on memorandum for petitioner.

John D. Williams, Attorney, Office of Immigration Litigation, on memorandum for respondent.

Before TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge, CAMPBELL, Senior Circuit Judge, and SELYA, Circuit Judge.


SELYA, Circuit Judge.

The petitioner, Ponta-Garca, a Portugese national, seeks review of an order reinstating an earlier order of deportation because of his allegedly illegal reentry into this country. The respondent, the Attorney General, has moved to dismiss, contending that jurisdiction is lacking because the petition for review was not timely filed. We agree. Thus, we are constrained to grant the motion to dismiss.
