SACK, 9 DENNY CHIN, 10 MICHAEL H. PARK, 11 Circuit Judges. 12 _____________________________________ 13 14 FERNANDO RECINOS, 15 Petitioner, 16 17 v. 18-594 18 NAC 19 MERRICK B. GARLAND, UNITED 20 STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL, 21 Respondent. 22 _____________________________________ 23 24 FOR PETITIONER: Stephen W. Manning, Immigrant Law 25 Group PC, Portland, OR. 26 27 FOR RESPONDENT: Joseph H. Hunt, Acting Assistant 28 Attorney General; Leslie McKay, 29 Senior Litigation Counsel; Margot 30 L. Carter, Trial Attorney, Office 1 of Immigration Litigation, United 2 States Department of Justice, 3 Washington, DC. 4 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a 5 decision of an immigration judge (“IJ”), it is hereby ORDERED, 6 ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review is 7 DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. 8 Petitioner Fernando Recinos, a native and citizen of 9 Honduras, seeks review of an IJ’s August 2017 decision 10 concurring with the Department of Homeland Security’s finding 11 that Recinos did not establish a reasonable fear of 12 persecution or torture.

Our jurisdiction is 23 limited to review of petitions filed within 30 days of “final 2 1 order[s] of removal.” 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(1), (b)(1). 2 We lack jurisdiction here. Recinos’s September 2017 3 petition is not timely from his July 2001 removal order or 4 the June 2017 reinstatement of that order. See 8 U.S.C. 5 § 1252(b)(1); Luna v. Holder, 637 F.3d 85, 92 (2d Cir. 2011) 6 (“Th[e] 30–day filing requirement is jurisdictional …
