Rodriguez Villalvazo v. Holder
Rodriguez Villalvazo v. Holder
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Jose Abraham Rodriguez Villalvazo, Veronica Lizbeth Rodriguez Villalvazo, and Laura Estela Rodriguez Villalvazo, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying their applications for cancellation of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of constitutional violations in immigration proceedings, see Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir. 2003), and we dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review petitioners’ contention that their mother’s satisfaction of the continuous physical presence requirement should have been imputed to them, because they failed to raise that issue before the BIA and thereby failed to exhaust their administrative remedies. 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).
Petitioners’ contention that the agency’s application of the ten-year continuous physical presence requirement violated their due process rights is unavailing. See Padilla-Padilla v. Gonzales, 463 F.3d 972, 978-79 (9th Cir. 2006).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
