Sabastian Monterrosa v. Eric Holder, Jr.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit February 24, 2012

Sabastian Monterrosa v. Eric Holder, Jr., 469 F. App'x 547 (9th Cir. 2012)

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Sabastian Monterrosa, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to remand and dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) removal order. We dismiss the petition for review.

*548 Monterrosa’s sole contention is that the IJ applied an incorrect legal standard in denying his claim for humanitarian asylum. We lack jurisdiction to consider this contention because Monterrosa failed to exhaust it before the BIA. See Figueroa v. Mukasey, 543 F.3d 487, 492 (9th Cir. 2008) (a claim that the IJ applied the wrong legal standard must be exhausted before the BIA).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.

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