Perez v. Gonzales
Perez v. Gonzales
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Alejandro Perez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order affirming an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying Perez’s application for cancellation of removal. To the extent we have jui’isdiction, it is pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of constitutional violations. See Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir. 2001). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to consider Perez’s contentions regarding continuous physical presence and his controlled substances conviction because he failed to raise them before the BIA. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004) (explaining that this court lacks jurisdiction to review contentions not raised before the agency).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part and DENIED in part.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
