UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT ____________________ No. 97-1292 SAMSON OMOSEFUNMI, Petitioner, v. CHARLES T. COBB, COMMISSIONER, IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE, Respondent. ____________________ APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS [Hon. Nancy J. Gertner, U.S. District Judge] ____________________ Before Torruella, Chief Judge, Selya and Stahl, Circuit Judges. ____________________ Samson Omosefunmi on brief pro se. Frank W. Hunger, Assistant Attorney General, Civil Division, David M. McConnell, Assistant Director, and James A. Hunolt, Attorney, Office of Immigration Litigation, Civil Division, Department of Justice, on brief for respondent. ____________________ March 16, 1998 ____________________ Per Curiam. Upon careful review of the briefs and record, we conclude that the district court properly dismissed petitioner's challenge to his detention pending deportation. Particularly, we find no merit in petitioner's contention regarding the finality of his 1992 convictions, see White v. Immigration & Naturalization Service, 17 F.3d 475, 479 (1st Cir. 1994), even assuming that contention were properly before this court in the context of this appeal. Further, as petitioner was not subjected to mandatory detention under the provisions of 440(c) of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, we will not address his contentions regarding those provisions. Affirmed. See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1. |
