                      ____________________________________

             Submitted under Third Circuit L.A.R. 34.1(a) on June 29, 2020

     Before: KRAUSE, PHIPPS, Circuit Judges, and GREENBERG, Senior Judge


                                  (Filed: June 30, 2020)


                                        OPINION *


KRAUSE, Circuit Judge.



       *
        This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does
not constitute binding precedent.
       Petitioner Bautista-Mescua presents a single issue for review: Whether the

immigration courts are deprived of jurisdiction over the case of a petitioner who receives

a notice to appear that is defective under Pereira v. Sessions, 

(2018). As

Bautista-Mescua acknowledges, we have already held that they are not. Nkomo v. Att’y

Gen., 

, 132-34 (3d Cir. 2019). Bautista-Mescua’s sole challenge to his order

of removal therefore fails because “the holding of a panel in a precedential opinion is

binding on subsequent panels.” See Reilly v. City of Harrisburg, 

, 177 (3d

Cir. 2017) (quoting Policy of Avoiding Intra-circuit Conflict of Precedent, Internal

Operating Procedures of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals § 9.1). For that reason, we

will affirm the judgment of the Board of Immigration Appeals.
