SANCHEZ v. GARLAND

Holding that an order denying relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT) is only reviewable as part of the Court's review of a final order of removal. The Fourth Circuit found that it lacked jurisdiction over Sanchez's CAT claim where Sanchez refused to sign a reinstatement order issued to him in 2019, which included a section asking whether he wished to contest the reinstatement determination. Based on his refusal to sign, the 2019 removal order became final, depriving the Fourth Circuit of a final order of removal properly before it that would give it jurisdiction to review the Board's denial of CAT relief.
