Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Amrit Chatelain, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and we dismiss the petition for review.

Chatelain failed to exhaust his contentions that his conviction for delivery of marijuana for consideration does not qualify as a conviction as defined in 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(48) and that no contest pleas are inadmissable in removal proceedings to prove the existence of an underlying conviction. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 677 (9th Cir. 2004).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
