JUAN DAVID TORRES-VASQUEZ, No. 19-71560

Petitioner, Agency No. A203-290-712

v. MEMORANDUM* WILLIAM P. BARR, Attorney General,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals

Submitted June 2, 2020**

Before: LEAVY, PAEZ, and BENNETT, Circuit Judges.

Juan David Torres-Vasquez, a native and citizen of Colombia, petitions for

review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal

from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying a waiver of inadmissibility.

We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary decision denying a

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). waiver of inadmissibility under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(h)(1)(B), where Torres-Vasquez

does not raise a colorable due process claim or question of law. See 8 U.S.C.

§ 1252(a)(2)(B)(i); Mendoza v. Holder, 623 F.3d 1299, 1302 (9th Cir. 2010). We

also lack jurisdiction to review Torres-Vasquez’s unexhausted contention that the

IJ should have allowed him additional opportunity to submit corroborating

evidence. See Tijani v. Holder, 628 F.3d 1071, 1080 (9th Cir. 2010) (the court

“lack[s] jurisdiction to review legal claims not presented in an alien’s

administrative proceedings before the BIA.”).

Torres-Vasquez’s motion for a stay of removal is denied as moot.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
