Benavidez v. Holder

375 F. App'x 767
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit·Decided April 14, 2010·No. 07-74325·Unpublished

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Celia Victorina Benavidez, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order summarily affirming an immigration judge’s decision finding her removable and denying her applications for cancellation of removal and voluntary departure. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review Benavi-dez’s contentions regarding her conviction because she failed to exhaust the contentions before the BIA. See Figueroa v. Mukasey, 543 F.3d 487, 492 (9th Cir.2008) (“The exhaustion doctrine requires that the petitioner put the BIA on notice as to the specific issues so that the BIA has an opportunity to pass on those issues.”) (internal quotations and alterations omitted).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
