U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2008-12-09

Applies 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (§ 242 of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (McCarran-Walter))

Relies on Gandziami-Mickhou v. Gonzales · Asika v. Ashcroft

Decided 2008-12-09

PER CURIAM:

¶1 Harrison Fomban Ndeh, a native and citizen of Cameroon, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reconsider. We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2008). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Ndeh (B.I.A. Mar. 25, 2008). * We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

¶2 PETITION DENIED.

*

¶3 We lack jurisdiction over Ndeh’s argument that he effectively withdrew his request for voluntary departure on the ground that he failed to raise this claim before the Board. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1) (2006) ("A court may review a final order of removal only if ... the alien has exhausted all administrative remedies available to the alien as of right.”); Gandziami-Mickhou v. Gonzales, 445 F.3d 351, 359 n. 2 (4th Cir.2006) (holding that the court lacks jurisdiction to consider an argument that was not raised before the Board); Astka v. Ashcroft, 362 F.3d 264, 267 n. 3 (4th Cir.2004) (same).
