jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review Abushindi’s contention that the BIA acted
ultra vires in its July 16, 2003 order because Abushindi failed to raise that issue

administrative remedies. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir.
2004); see also Agyeman v. INS, 296 F.3d 871, 877 (9th Cir. 2002) (“[W]e may not
entertain due process claims based on correctable procedural errors unless the alien
raised them below.”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
