Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted November 21, 2011 **
Before: TASHIMA, BERZON, and TALLMAN, Circuit Judges.
Francisco Alexander Guerrero Claros, a native and citizen of El Salvador,
petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying
his motion to reopen. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision

for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen. Toufighi v. Mukasey, 538
F.3d 988, 992 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for review in part and dismiss
it in part.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Guerrero Claros’s motion to
reopen because he failed to demonstrate the affidavits he submitted were
previously unavailable. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(1); Goel v. Gonzales, 490 F.3d
735, 738 (9th Cir. 2007).
We lack jurisdiction to address Guerrero Claros’s challenge to the
immigration judge’s denial of asylum, withholding of removal, and CAT relief,
because he failed to exhaust these issues before the BIA. See Barron v. Ashcroft,
358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
