AGUILAR GABINO v. WHITAKER (2018)

MEMORANDUM **

Oracio Aguilar-Gabino, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss in part and grant in part the petition for review, and we remand.

We lack jurisdiction to consider Aguilar-Gabino’s unexhausted contention that his attorney and the IJ failed to question him regarding his previous presence in the United States. See Tijani v. Holder, 628 F.3d 1071, 1080 (9th Cir. 2010) (no jurisdiction to review legal claims not presented in administrative proceedings before the BIA).

The BIA did not have the benefit of Pereira v. Sessions, ––– U.S. ––––, 138 S.Ct. 2105, 201 L.Ed.2d 433 (2018), which held that a notice to appear that does not specify the time and date of the hearing does not trigger the stop-time rule, when it denied cancellation of removal. Thus, we remand for further proceedings consistent with that disposition.

Each party shall bear its own costs for this petition for review.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part, GRANTED in part; REMANDED.
