NOT PRECEDENTIAL UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT ___________ No. 20-3218 ___________ BERNARDO AGUSTIN LLOYD CALLENDER, Petitioner v. ATTORNEY GENERAL UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ____________________________________ On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Agency No. A031-158-553) Immigration Judge: Nelson A. Vargas-Padilla ____________________________________ Submitted Pursuant to Third Circuit L.A.R. 34.1(a) on August 18, 2021 Before: GREENAWAY, JR., KRAUSE, and BIBAS, Circuit Judges (Opinion filed: November 24, 2021) ____________________________________ ___________ OPINION* ___________ PER CURIAM Bernardo Agustin Lloyd Callender petitions pro se for review of a final order of re- moval. For the reasons that follow, we will deny the petition. I. Lloyd Callender is a citizen of Panama. Although Lloyd Callender and his family re- sided in the Canal Zone in Panama when he was a child, he was born in a hospital in Pan- ama outside of the Canal Zone, in 1967. Lloyd Callender’s parents were not married when he was born but got married soon after. His father became a U.S. citizen in 1970 while he was serving in the U.S. military. Lloyd Callender came to the United States with his parents as a lawful permanent resi- dent in 1971, when he was four years old. His parents physically separated after they arrived in the United States.

However, he presented arguments about derivative citizenship. An Immigration Judge (“IJ”) concluded that Lloyd Callender was removable as charged and rejected his claim of citizenship. The Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) affirmed that ruling. Lloyd Callender timely petitioned for review. II. Our jurisdiction is limited when, as here, a petitioner is removable due to a conviction for an aggravated felony. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1252(a)(2)(C), 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii); see also 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(B), (F).
