Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted August 15, 2018**
Before: FARRIS, BYBEE, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny in part and
dismiss in part the petition for review.
Pichardo-Vazquez does not raise, and therefore he waives, any challenge to
the agency’s determination that he is statutorily ineligible for cancellation of
removal, because he was incarcerated for more than 180 days as a result of a
criminal conviction. See Corro-Barragan v. Holder, 718 F.3d 1174, 1177 n.5 (9th
Cir. 2013) (failure to contest issue in opening brief resulted in waiver).
We lack jurisdiction to consider Pichardo-Vazquez’s unexhausted contention
that his pretrial detention was unconstitutional and therefore should not count as
confinement under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f)(7). See Tijani v. Holder, 628 F.3d 1071,
1080 (9th Cir. 2010) (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.
