Torres-Avila

MEMORANDUM **

In case No. 07-30265, Emiliano Torres-Avila appeals from the district court’s denial of his motion to dismiss the indictment, and the 77-month sentence imposed following his guilty-plea conviction, for being an alien in the United States after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326 . In case No. 07-30264, Torres-Avila appeals from the revocation of supervised release. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We affirm case No. 07-30265 and dismiss case No. 07-30264.

Torres-Avila contends the underlying deportation proceedings violated his right to due process because the Immigration Judge failed to notify him that he would continue to accrue residency during the pendency of his appeal and might become eligible for a waiver under former Immigration and Nationality Act § 212(c) should the appeal process last until he had accrued seven years of residency. We conclude that the Immigration Judge did not violate Torres-Avila’s right to due process. Because there was no due process violation in the underlying deportation proceedings, Torres-Avila was not excused from his failure to exhaust administrative remedies. See United States v. Pallares-Galan, 359…
