United States Seventh Circuit

Illegal alien's petition for review of an order of removal is dismissed where: 1) the court lacked jurisdiction to hear an appeal from a judgment regarding cancellation of removal rendered under section 1229(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act; 2) a procedural due-process claim could not be heard because petitioner had failed to raise it before the BIA; and 3) petitioner's evidence regarding country conditions in Guatemala had been considered, and the IJ's findings of fact with respect to that evidence were not reviewable.
