Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Raymundo Perez Sanchez, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order summarily dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying her application for withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the BIA’s decision to summarily dismiss an appeal. Singh v. Gonzales, 416 F.3d 1006, 1009 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in summarily dismissing Perez Sanchez’s appeal. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.1(d)(2)(i)(A), (E); Reyes-Mendoza v. INS, 774 F.2d 1364 (9th Cir. 1985) (summary dismissal appropriate where Notice of Appeal lacked sufficient specificity and no separate written brief was filed).

We lack jurisdiction to' consider Perez Sanchez’s contentions challenging the IJ’s denial of relief because she did not raise them to the BIA. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 677-78 (9th Cir. 2004) (petitioner must exhaust issues in administrative proceedings below).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
