Martinez Magadan v. Holder

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Martinez Magadan v. Holder, 452 F. App'x 761 (9th Cir. 2011)

Martinez Magadan v. Holder

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Paulino Martinez Magadan, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to consider Martinez Magadan’s contention that his 1990 conviction for carrying a loaded firearm was not a disqualifying offense under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(C) because he failed to raise it before the BIA and thereby failed to exhaust his administrative remedies. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004) (this court lacks jurisdiction to review contentions not raised before the agency).

In light of our disposition, we need not address Martinez Magadan’s remaining contentions.

*762 PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
