Sec. 240.15  Appeals.

    Pursuant to 8 CFR part 3, an appeal shall lie from a decision of an 
immigration judge to the Board of Immigration Appeals, except that no 
appeal shall lie from an order of removal entered in absentia. The 
procedures regarding the filing of a Form EOIR 26, Notice of Appeal, 
fees, and briefs are set forth in Secs. 3.3, 3.31, and 3.38 of this 
chapter. An appeal shall be filed within 30 calendar days after the 
mailing of a written decision, the stating of an oral decision, or the 
service of a summary decision. The filing date is defined as the date of 
receipt of the Notice of Appeal by the Board of Immigration Appeals. The 
reasons for the appeal shall be stated in the Notice of Appeal in 
accordance with the provisions of Sec. 3.3(b) of this chapter. Failure 
to do so may constitute a ground for dismissal of the appeal by the 
Board pursuant to Sec. 3.1(d)(2) of this chapter.
