Abraham Rios v. Jefferson Sessions

694 F. App'x 534

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Abraham Rios, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying administrative closure and dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) order of removal. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s denial of administrative closure. Diaz-Covarrubias v. Mukasey, 551 F.3d 1114, 1118-20 (9th Cir. 2009).

We lack jurisdiction to consider Rios’ unexhausted contentions that the IJ failed to apply mandatory presumptions in his favor and applied legally erroneous standards of proof. See Tijani v. Holder, 628 F.3d 1071, 1080 (9th Cir. 2010) (“We lack jurisdiction to review legal claims not presented in an alien’s administrative proceedings before the BIA.”).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
