Arzola v. Gonzales

MEMORANDUM ** Santiago Telles Arzola, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review seeks review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals upholding an immigration judge’s order denying Arzola’s application for cancellation of removal. We dismiss the petition for review. We lack jurisdiction to review the discretionary determination that an applicant has failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying relative, see Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 890 (9th Cir.2003). We lack jurisdiction to review Arzola’s contention that he was denied his right to counsel 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). PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
