MEMORANDUM **
Ayoub Abdalla Mayassi, a native and citizen of Lebanon, petitions pro se for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) order denying his motion to reopen his removal proceedings. To the extent we have jurisdiction, it is pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss the petition for review in part and deny it in part.
Mayassi petitions for review of the IJ’s prior denial of relief under the Convention Against Torture. He also contends that his former counsel was ineffective, and that conditions have changed in Lebanon. Mayassi did not exhaust his administrative remedies with respect to these claims, however, and we therefore lack jurisdiction to review them. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir.2004) (holding that exhaustion is mandatory and jurisdictional).
Reviewing for abuse of discretion, Singh v. INS, 213 F.3d 1050, 1052 (9th Cir.2000), we conclude that the BIA acted within in its discretion in determining that Mayassi’s motion to reopen was untimely, as it was filed more than three years after his final order of removal. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(e)(2). We deny this aspect of the petition for review.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
