MEMORANDUM*
WILLIAM P. BARR, Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted July 17, 2020**
Before: HAWKINS, GRABER, and CLIFTON, Circuit Judges.
Petitioner Jose Nahyn Martinez, a native and citizen of Honduras, timely
petitioned for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ dismissal of his appeal
from an immigration judge’s denial of his applications for withholding of removal
and relief under the Convention Against Torture. Because the petition has become

moot, we must dismiss it for lack of jurisdiction. Gator.com Corp. v. L.L. Bean,
Inc.,
398 F.3d 1125, 1128–29 (9th Cir. 2005) (en banc).
Petitioner was voluntarily removed to Honduras while this appeal was
pending. He therefore abandoned his applications for relief. 8 C.F.R. § 1208.8(a).
Moreover, Petitioner became ineligible for withholding of removal and relief under
the Convention Against Torture because both forms of relief, if granted, would
prohibit Petitioner’s removal, which is no longer possible. See 8 U.S.C.
§ 1231(b)(3)(A) (providing that, if the standard for withholding of removal is
satisfied, "the Attorney General may not remove an alien"); 8 C.F.R.
§ 1208.16(c)(4) ("Protection under the Convention Against Torture will be granted
either in the form of withholding of removal or in the form of deferral of
removal."). And Petitioner asserts no "collateral consequence" that keeps his case
live. Del Cid Marroquin v. Lynch,
823 F.3d 933, 935 (9th Cir. 2016) (per curiam)
(internal quotation marks omitted). Accordingly, there is no "live controversy" and
further action on this case would be outside the "constitutional purview" of this
court. Gator.com

DISMISSED.
