Carrillo-Lozano

MEMORANDUM

Alfredo Carrillo-Lozano (“Carrillo”) petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) dismissal of his appeal of an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying termination based on his citizenship claim. The BIA found that Carrillo failed to establish citizenship through his mother and that the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) met its burden of proof on the alienage issue. Carrillo additionally petitions for review of the BIA’s denial of his motion to reconsider. The two previous petitions were consolidated and transferred to the District Court for the District of Arizona for a determination of Carrillo’s citizenship claim. Carrillo now seeks review of the district court’s determination that he is not a United States citizen. Lastly, Carrillo seeks review of the district court’s denial of his habeas petition challenging his detention. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We deny the petitions and affirm the district court’s determination that Carrillo is not a United States citizen.
