MARICELA CASTILLO VALENCIA AKA v. JEFFERSON SESSIONS (2017)

MEMORANDUM*

Maricela Castillo Valencia, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order affirming without opinion an immigration judge's (“IJ”) decision denying a continuance and relief from removal. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to consider Castillo Valencia's unexhausted challenges to the IJ's denial of a continuance. See Zara v. Ashcroft, 383 F.3d 927, 931 (9th Cir. 2004) (the exhaustion requirement applies to streamlined cases).

To the extent Castillo Valencia contends that former counsel's failure to raise certain arguments to the IJ constituted ineffective assistance of counsel or that her convictions did not render her ineligible for relief, we also lack jurisdiction to consider those unexhausted contentions. Id.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
