Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Carlos Adame-Zapata, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (IJ) denial of his application for cancellation of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss the petition for review.

Adame-Zapata raises the unexhausted contention that he decided under duress not to move to suppress the Form 1-213 Record of Deportable/Inadmissible Alien. We decline to address this contention, which the Board also declined to consider because Adame-Zapata waived this claim by not raising it before the IJ. Ontiveros-Lopez v. INS, 213 F.3d 1121, 1124 (9th Cir. 2000).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.

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