Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit March 21, 2003, No. 01-71750; INS No. A75-253-599 (Singh v. Immigration & Naturalization Service)

MEMORANDUM **

Joginder Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) dismissing his appeal of an immigration judge’s denial of his motion to reopen proceedings after he was ordered deported in absentia. Because the transitional rules apply, see Kalaw v. INS, 133 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir.1997), we have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.
