Maria Estela Santoyo-dominguez, A.k.a. Maria Estela Cortes, Petitioner, v. Immigration and Naturalization Service, Respondent, 117 F.3d 1426 (9th Cir. 1997)

 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 117 F.3d 1426 (9th Cir. 1997) Submitted June 17, 1997**June 24, 1997

Before: GOODWIN, SCHROEDER, and TASHIMA, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM* 

Maria Estela Santoyo-Dominguez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") affirming a decision of the Immigration Judge ("IJ") denying Santoyo-Dominguez's request for adjustment of status under section 245 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1255.

Santoyo-Dominguez contends that the IJ erred by failing to advise her of her apparent eligibility for relief from deportation. Because she failed to raise this issue before the BIA, we lack jurisdiction to consider it. See Rashtabadi v. INS, 23 F.3d 1562, 1567 (9th Cir. 1994).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.

 **

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir. R. 34-4
