   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-1296
                          and No:  09-3629
   Board of Immigration Appeals

   Circuit Judge]
Petition for Review - Immigration. Based on the record, the arresting officers' conduct did not constitute and egregious violation of petitioner's Fourth Amendment rights, and the evidence gathered as a result of petitioner's arrest was admissible; post-arrest conduct of the ICE agent did not deprive petitioner of his Fourth Amendment rights, and his statements concerning his alienage and lack of lawful status were voluntary and admissible; even if the BIA erred in finding that the agents' conduct did not violate applicable agency regulations, suppression of the statements was not required as the error was harmless; while the IJ's decision was a nullity because it was entered after petitioner had appealed to the BIA, petitioner has not shown that the outcome would have been different but for the error, and the error was harmless; this court lacks jurisdiction to review the discretionary denial of voluntary departure under 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1229c.
