Ramirez Mata v. Holder

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION JUN 01 2010 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT JUAN GERARDO RAMIREZ MATA, No. 07-71207 Petitioner, Agency No. A034-486-731 v. MEMORANDUM * ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted May 25, 2010 ** Before: CANBY, THOMAS, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges. Juan Gerardo Ramirez Mata, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) removal order. We dismiss the petition for review. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). We lack jurisdiction to review Ramirez Mata’s contentions because he failed to raise them before the BIA and, thus, failed to exhaust his administrative remedies. See Zara v. Ashcroft, 383 F.3d 927, 930-31 (9th Cir. 2004) (“A petitioner cannot satisfy the exhaustion requirement by making a general challenge to the IJ’s decision, but, rather, must specify which issues form the basis of the appeal.”). PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED. 2 07-71207
