TORRES VASQUEZ v. BARR (2020)

MEMORANDUM **

Juan David Torres-Vasquez, a native and citizen of Colombia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying a waiver of inadmissibility. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary decision denying a waiver of inadmissibility under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(h)(1)(B), where Torres-Vasquez does not raise a colorable due process claim or question of law. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i); Mendoza v. Holder, 623 F.3d 1299, 1302 (9th Cir. 2010). We also lack jurisdiction to review Torres-Vasquez’s unexhausted contention that the IJ should have allowed him additional opportunity to submit corroborating evidence. See Tijani v. Holder, 628 F.3d 1071, 1080 (9th Cir. 2010) (the court “lack[s] jurisdiction to review legal claims not presented in an alien’s administrative proceedings before the BIA.”).

Torres-Vasquez’s motion for a stay of removal is denied as moot.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
