Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals

Submitted June 22, 2015 **

Before: HAWKINS, GRABER, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

late-filed appeal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny in

part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

Robles-Rojas has waived any challenge to the BIA’s dispositive

determinations that his appeal was untimely and he had not presented evidence

sufficient to warrant the BIA’s considering the appeal by certification. See Tijani

v. Holder, 628 F.3d 1071, 1080 (9th Cir. 2010) (“[W]e generally will not take up

arguments not raised in an alien’s opening brief before this court.”).

We lack jurisdiction to review Robles-Rojas’s remaining unexhausted

contentions. See id. (the court lacks jurisdiction to consider legal claims not

presented in an alien’s administrative proceedings before the agency).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
