MEMORANDUM **

Ricardo Valadez-Ruiz, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review Valadez-Ruiz’s contention that the record of eonvic *658 tion is insufficient to establish his remova-bility for an aggravated felony because he failed to raise that issue before the BIA and thereby failed to exhaust his 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).

The motion of petitioner’s retained counsel, Elsa Ines Martinez, Esq., to withdraw as counsel of record is granted. The Clerk shall enter on the docket petitioner, 1080 Coronado Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90804, as appearing pro se.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
