CARMELO CHAPARRO-HERNANDEZ,
Petitioner-Appellant,

WILLIAM J. HARRINGTON, District Director
of the Dallas Office of Immigration and
Naturalization Service,
Respondent-Appellee.
_______________________________________________________
Appeal from the United States District Court for
the Northern District of Texas
(USDC No. 3:00-CV-47)
_______________________________________________________
September 25, 2000
Before REAVLEY, DeMOSS and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Carmelo Chaparro-Hernandez appeals the district court’s denial of his motion
*
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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances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.
for a temporary restraining order and application for writ of habeas corpus. We
agree with the district court that it does not have jurisdiction to hear his appeal of
the Immigration Judge’s removal order. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(2); Udenze v.
Strapp, 977 F. Supp. 418, 421 (N.D. Tex. 1997). We also agree that it does not
have jurisdiction over his amnesty claim. See McNary v. Haitian Refugee Ctr., Inc.,
498 U.S. 479, 486 (1991) (holding that courts of appeals are the only forums for
judicial review under the Immigration and Reform Act).
AFFIRMED.
