NOT PRECEDENTIAL UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT _____________ No. 17-3650 _____________ FERNANDO RAMIREZ SEGOVIANO, Petitioner v. ATTORNEY GENERAL UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent ____________ On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA No. A200-687-279) Immigration Judge: Charles Honeyman Submitted Pursuant to Third Circuit L.A.R. 34.1(a) June 14, 2018 Before: SMITH, Chief Judge, CHAGARES, FUENTES, Circuit Judges. (Filed: June 18, 2018) ____________ OPINION ____________ CHAGARES, Circuit Judge This disposition is not an opinion of the full court and, pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7, does not constitute binding precedent.

Ramirez based his application on the hardship that would befall his children were he removed, especially his son, who suffers from a serious aural medical condition.
