FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS DEC 28 2012 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT LEE WILLIAMS, No. 11-73374 Petitioner, Agency No. A200-950-969 v. MEMORANDUM * ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted December 19, 2012 ** Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and FISHER, Circuit Judges. Lee Williams, a native and citizen of Barbados, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals ( BIA ) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge s decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture ( CAT ). Our * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss the petition for review. We lack jurisdiction to consider Williams contentions regarding his eligibility for adjustment of status based on his residence in the United States and engagement to a U.S. citizen, his criminal conviction, and the denial of a continuance while Williams tried to vacate his conviction because he did not exhaust them. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004) (this court lacks jurisdiction to review contentions not raised before the BIA). Williams does not raise, and therefore waives, any other challenges to the BIA s order. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir. 1996). PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED. 2 11-73374
