OPINION OF THE COURT
FUENTES, Circuit Judge.
Carien Higgs is the subject of a final order of removal from the United States issued by an Immigration Judge. Higgs filed a notice of appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA” or “Board”) incorrectly identifying the appeal as one from an interlocutory ruling, rather than from a final order of removal. As a result, the Board dismissed Higgs’s appeal as moot. Higgs filed the instant petition for review, challenging the Board’s dismissal of his notice of appeal, the merits of the IJ’s decision, and the enforceability of the order of removal.
