CLD-149 NOT PRECEDENTIAL UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT ___________ No. 21-1405 ___________ MANETIRONY CLERVRAIN, Appellant v. TACI BARRERA; UNITED STATES IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT ____________________________________ On Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania (M.D. Pa. Civil Action No. 1-20-cv-02404 ) District Judge: Honorable John E. Jones, III ____________________________________ Submitted for Possible Dismissal Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) or Summary Action Pursuant to Third Circuit LAR 27.4 and I.O.P. 10.6 April 15, 2021 Before: RESTREPO, MATEY and SCIRICA, Circuit Judges (Opinion filed: April 29, 2021) _________ OPINION * _________ PER CURIAM * This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not constitute binding precedent. Manetirony Clervrain, proceeding pro se, filed this appeal after the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania issued orders dismissing his habeas petition, denying his motion to reinstate his case, and denying other motions for relief. Because this appeal does not raise a substantial question, we will summarily affirm. See 3d Cir. L.A.R. 27.4; 3d Cir. I.O.P. 10.6.

It explained that judicial review of a removal order requires the filing of a petition for review in a court of appeals. The District Court also noted that Clervrain was confined at a detention center in Oklahoma when he filed his petition, and stated that, even if his petition were properly filed in the district court, it must be brought in the district where he was confined. See 2/11/21 Dist. Ct. Order. 1 1 It appears that Clervrain was released from custody sometime after he filed his motion. 2 Clervrain then filed a form civil rights complaint, which is similarly difficult to understand. The District Court construed the filing as a motion to reconsider the dismissal of his habeas petition and to reinstate his case as a civil rights action. It denied reconsideration because Clervrain did not meet the applicable standard, but disagreed with the dismissal and tried to convert his petition to a civil rights action. See 2/18/21 Dist. Ct. Order. Clervrain continued to file motions in the District Court. The District Court denied relief, noting that it had dismissed his action and had denied his motion to reopen his case.
