The following excerpt is from Abdisalan v. Holder, No. 10-73215, No. 11-71124 (9th Cir. 2014):
A "petition for review must be filed not later than 30 days after the date of the final order of removal." 8 U.S.C. 1252(b)(1). This time limit is "mandatory and jurisdictional." Stone v. INS, 514 U.S. 386, 405 (1995) (internal quotation marks omitted). As a result, the "point at which a removal order becomes final is critical for the purposes of timely petitioning for judicial review." Ortiz-Alfaro v. Holder, 694 F.3d 955, 958 (9th Cir. 2012).
