Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit May 20, 2003, No. 02-70798 (Garewal v. Ashcroft)

MEMORANDUM **

Anthony Garewal appeals the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) ruling affirming the Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) denial of his motion to reopen. Garewal argues that the in absentia hearing was improper, that failure to rule on the motion to continue was improper, and that the denial of the motion to reopen was an abuse of discretion.
