Walter Alfredo Lopez-Gonzalez (“Lopez”) petitions for review of the final order *81 of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) dismissing his appeal from the decision of the immigration judge denying his motion to reopen his deportation proceedings for failure to file a timely notice of appeal. Lopez argues that he is entitled to an adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident alien and that this court has jurisdiction over his claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241.

As Lopez did not properly raise his claims before the BIA and exhaustion is statutorily mandated, this court does not have jurisdiction over the present petition. See Wang v. Ashcroft, 260 F.3d 448, 452 (5th Cir. 2001); see also 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(c) (1994). As Lopez has not filed a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition for writ of habeas corpus, this court does not have jurisdiction pursuant to that statute. Accordingly, the petition for review is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
