Before: SILVERMAN, CALLAHAN, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

We lack jurisdiction to review Castillo-Zelaya’s contentions related to his
ineffective assistance of counsel claim and whether his two controlled substance
convictions render him ineligible for immigration relief because he did not raise
them before the BIA, and therefore failed to exhaust his administrative remedies.
See Zara v. Ashcroft, 383 F.3d 927, 930-31 (9th Cir. 2004) (“A petitioner cannot
satisfy the exhaustion requirement by making a general challenge to the IJ’s
decision, but, rather, must specify which issues form the basis of the appeal.”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
