Santa Villanueva Guerrero v. Eric Holder, Jr.
Opinion
. Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Santa Esperanza Villanueva Guerrero, a native and citizen of the Dominican Republic, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing her appeal from the immigration judge’s order finding her removable. We deny the petition for review.
In her pro se informal brief, Guerrero contends her counsel was ineffective and that her removal would be an extreme hardship to her children. Because she does not challenge the Board’s conclusion that she was removable, the issue is waived. See 4th Cir. R. 84(b). Guerrero’s issues in her informal brief were not raised on appeal to the Board. Because she failed to exhaust the issues, we are without jurisdiction to review them. See Asika v. Ashcroft, 362 F.3d 264, 267 n. 3 (4th Cir. 2004).
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court, and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED.
