UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL CHERTOFF, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security; et al., Respondents. On August 16, 2006, Petitioner Juan Carlos Valdez Bernal filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. On August 22, 2006, this Court dismissed the Petition for failure to pay the filing fee. Petitioner has recently paid the fee, and the Clerk of Court reopened the case. However, upon review of the Petition, it appears Petitioner is challenging an order of removal. Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(5), this Court no longer has subject matter jurisdiction over such claims for relief. Rather, jurisdiction is found only in the courts of appeal. Accordingly, the Court hereby dismisses the Petition for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: September 22, 2006 DANA M. SABRAW United States District Judge
