Zongbing Wei v. Gonzales

132 F. App'x 144

Opinion

MEMORANDUM

***

1. Substantial evidence supported the immigration judge’s determination that petitioner was not credible, and that petitioner thus failed to demonstrate past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution. See Alvarez-Santos v. INS, 332 F.3d 1245, 1254 (9th Cir.2003).

2. Petitioner did not exhaust before the Board of Immigration Appeals his claim that the immigration judge abused her discretion by holding in the alternative that, even if credible, petitioner would be denied relief as a matter of discretion. We therefore lack jurisdiction to consider the claim. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1).

DENIED.
