Petitioner seeks an order staying his detention and removal to Mexico pursuant to the order of removal issued by the Board of Immigration Appeals. On December 15, this Court issued an order dismissing the petition for lack of jurisdiction. Later that same day, Petitioner filed a notice of appeal, appealing this Court's dismissal to the Ninth Circuit. On December 17, 2006, Petitioner filed a motion for an emergency stay of execution and application for temporary stay pending ruling of appeal. For the same reasons stated in the order dismissing this petition, this Court lacks jurisdiction to enter a stay. In addition, the Petitioner's filing of a notice of appeal divested this Court of any jurisdiction. See McClatchy Newspapers v. Central Valley Typographical Union No. 46, Intern.
