On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted March 3, 2020** Before: SILVERMAN, CHRISTEN, and BADE, Circuit Judges.

See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). contention that his conviction would be eligible for Federal First Offender Act treatment. See Zara v. Ashcroft, 383 F.3d 927, 931 (9th Cir. 2004) (“the exhaustion requirement applies to ‘streamlined’ cases”); Garcia-Cortez v.

[C]onclusory or generalized statements that the IJ abused his discretion or wrongfully ordered the alien’s removal fail to meet the specificity requirement, because they do not meaningfully direct the BIA in its review.”).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
