The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Petitioner Jesus Evelio Rosales Henriquez, a native and citizen of El
Salvador, seeks review of a 2018 order reinstating a removal order from 2002.1 To
challenge the 2018 reinstatement order, Rosales Henriquez collaterally attacks the
underlying removal order, arguing it was a gross miscarriage of justice. Rosales
Henriquez timely petitioned for review of his reinstatement order under 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(b)(1). We therefore have jurisdiction over his petition pursuant to
§ 1252(a)(1), and we may consider Rosales Henriquez’s collateral attack as
authorized by § 1252(a)(2)(D). See Vega-Anguiano v. Barr, 982 F.3d 542, 545
(9th Cir. 2019).
Rosales Henriquez argues that the 2002 removal order was a gross
miscarriage of justice because the conviction underlying the removal order is no
longer a crime involving moral turpitude or an aggravated felony. To support this
argument, Rosales Henriquez points to caselaw decided after the 2002 removal
order was first executed and he was removed to El Salvador. But “[w]hen a
removal order is legally valid at the time of entry and execution, a petitioner cannot

The parties’ joint motion to supplement the record on appeal (Dkt. No. 43)
is GRANTED. Rosales Henriquez’s most recent motion to supplement the record
or take judicial notice (Dkt. No. 59) is DENIED. Rosales Henriquez’s first motion
to supplement the record or take judicial notice (Dkt. No. 20) and his opposed
motion to stay appellate proceedings or refer the case to mediation (Dkt. No. 63)
are DENIED as moot.

challenge a reinstatement of that order as a gross miscarriage of justice based on
developments that call into question the original removal order, but which occurred
after the petitioner was removed from this country.” Lopez v. Garland, 17 F.4th
1232, 1236 (9th Cir. 2021). Rosales Henriquez thus has failed to demonstrate a
gross miscarriage of justice because the 2002 removal order was legally valid at
the time of its entry and execution. See id.Rosales Henriquez also contends that the 2002 removal order was a gross
miscarriage of justice because the Notice to Appear (NTA) he received in 2002 did
not indicate the address of the immigration court. This argument is foreclosed by
Aguilar Fermin v. Barr, 958 F.3d 887 (9th Cir. 2020), because the omission of any
information from Rosales Henriquez’s NTA was later cured, id. at 893–95
(explaining that the “omission of some of the information required by [the
regulations] can be cured and is not fatal”). Last, Rosales Henriquez’s argument
that the immigration court lacked jurisdiction because the NTA did not include an
address is foreclosed by our court’s recent en banc decision in United States v.

PETITION DENIED.

Rosales Henriquez also briefly argues that the 2002 removal order is a
gross miscarriage of justice because his prior counsel deprived him of the
opportunity to appeal the 2002 removal order, but he offers no evidence to support
that claim.
