Lara-Miranda v. Gonzales

158 F. App'x 902

Opinion

MEMORANDUM

**

Everardo Lara-Miranda, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ decision summarily affirming an Immigration Judge’s order denying his application for cancellation of removal on hardship grounds. We dismiss the petition for review.

Lara-Miranda failed to exhaust his contention that his United States citizen children were denied due process in his removal proceedings in that the agency did not give them notice or the opportunity to be heard, and we therefore lack jurisdiction to consider this claim. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1); Sanchez-Cruz v. INS, 255 F.3d 775, 780 (9th Cir.2001) (due process claims raising correctable procedural errors must be exhausted before the BIA).

The voluntary departure period was stayed, and that stay will expire upon issuance of the mandate. See Desta v. Ashcroft, 365 F.3d 741 (9th Cir.2004).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir.R.36-3.
