VAUGHN JOHNSON,

Petitioner,
11
vs.
12
Case No. 2:17-cv-00422-RFB-GWF
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE
UNITED STATES, et al.
ORDER
13
Respondents.
14
15
16
17
Petitioner has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 1). The court finds
that petitioner is unable to pay the filing fee.
18
In his petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241, petitioner challenges
19
the validity of an order removing him from the United States. To the extent that judicial review of this
20
order is available, it is through a petition for review filed in the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit,
21
not through an action commenced in this court. 8 U.S.C. § 1252. This court does not have jurisdiction
22
to consider plaintiff’s claims. The court makes no statement about the merits of, or procedural defenses
23
against, any petition for review that petitioner files with the court of appeals.
24
The court denies petitioner’s other motions because it lacks jurisdiction.
25
To the extent that a certificate of appealability is necessary, reasonable jurists would not find
26
the court’s conclusion to be debatable or wrong, and the court will not issue a certificate of
27
appealability.
