Vicenta Lopez-Bobadilla v. Eric H. Holder Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Vicenta Lopez-Bobadilla, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for relief under the Nicaraguan and Central American Relief Act (“NACARA”). We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s determination that Lopez-Bobadilla was not eligible for NACARA relief because she failed to establish that she timely registered for ABC benefits, and she does not raise a legal or constitutional question that invokes our jurisdiction. See Lanuza v. Holder, 597 F.Bd 970, 972 (9th Cir. 2010) (per curiam).

We lack jurisdiction to consider Lopez-Bobadilla’s remaining contentions, because she failed to exhaust 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.
