Arredondo v. Holder
Arredondo v. Holder
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Alma M. Arredondo, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision finding her removable for participating in alien smuggling. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing for substantial evidence, Urzua Covarrubias v. Gonzales, 487 F.3d 742, 744 (9th Cir. 2007), we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
Petitioner failed to argue in her brief to the BIA that the IJ’s reliance on government forms violated due process. We therefore lack jurisdiction to consider Petitioner’s claim because she failed to exhaust administrative remedies. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004) (due process challenges that are “procedural in nature” must be exhausted); see also Abebe v. Mukasey, 554 F.3d 1203, 1209-10 (9th Cir. 2009) (en banc).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
