NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FILED JUL 19 2017 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT ABRAHAM RIOS, No. Petitioner, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS 15-73579 Agency No. A205-297-724 v. MEMORANDUM* JEFFERSON B. SESSIONS III, Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted July 11, 2017** Before: CANBY, KOZINSKI, and HAWKINS, Circuit Judges. Abraham Rios, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying administrative closure and dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) order of removal. We dismiss the petition for review. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s denial of administrative closure. Diaz-Covarrubias v. Mukasey, 551 F.3d 1114, 1118-20 (9th Cir. 2009). We lack jurisdiction to consider Rios’ unexhausted contentions that the IJ failed to apply mandatory presumptions in his favor and applied legally erroneous standards of proof. See Tijani v. Holder, 628 F.3d 1071, 1080 (9th Cir. 2010) (“We lack jurisdiction to review legal claims not presented in an alien’s administrative proceedings before the BIA.”). PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED. 2 15-73579
