U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS
ALEJANDRO ANTONI CASTILLO- No. 08-74401
ZELAYA,
Agency No. A076-905-501
Petitioner,
v. MEMORANDUM *
ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted September 13, 2010 **
Before: SILVERMAN, CALLAHAN, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
Alejandro Antoni Castillo-Zelaya, a native and citizen of Nicaragua,
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 Castillo-Zelaya’s contentions related to his
ineffective assistance of counsel claim and whether his two controlled substance
convictions render him ineligible for immigration relief because he did not raise
them before the BIA, and therefore 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.
