IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit FILED December 21, 2007 No. 06-60769 Summary Calendar Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk BUJAR SHEHU Petitioner v. MICHAEL B. MUKASEY, U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL, Respondent On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals File: A98-116-470 Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Buhar Shehu seeks review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals affirming the denial of an application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture. Shehu's current status is that of a fugitive with an outstanding final order of removal. This court has recently extended the fugitive dis-entitlement doctrine to the immigration context where, as here, the petitioner is a fugitive alien who has evaded custody and failed to comply with a removal order. See Giri v. Keisler, No. 06-60569, __ Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. * No. 06-60769 F.3d __, 2007 WL 3276110 (5th Cir. Nov. 7, 2007). Pursuant to Giri, the fugitive dis-entitlement doctrine serves to bar further review of the BIA's decision. DENIED. 2
