MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted September 27, 2011**
Before: SILVERMAN, W. FLETCHER, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges.

removal order. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for
abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to remand, Castillo-Perez v. INS, 212
F.3d 518, 523 (9th Cir. 2000), and we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition
for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Angeles-Hernandez’s
motion to remand based on ineffective assistance of counsel at his bond hearing
where he failed to comply with the requirements set forth in Matter of Lozada, 19
I. & N. Dec. 637, 639 (BIA 1988), and the ineffective assistance he alleges is not
plain on the face of the record. See Reyes v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 592, 597-99 (9th
Cir. 2004). We do not consider the materials attached to Angeles-Hernandez’s
opening brief because they are not part of the administrative record. Dent v.
Holder, 627 F.3d 365, 371 (9th Cir. 2010).
We lack jurisdiction to consider Angeles-Hernandez’s claim of ineffective
assistance of counsel in the presentation of his application for cancellation of
removal because he failed to exhaust this claim before the BIA. Barron v.
Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004).
We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary determination that
Angeles-Hernandez failed to demonstrate exceptional and extremely unusual
hardship to a qualifying relative in support of his application for cancellation of

removal. Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005). We also
lack jurisdiction to consider Angeles-Hernandez’s contention that the IJ failed to
consider some of his hardship evidence because this is not a colorable legal or
constitutional claim. See Mendez-Castro v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 975, 978-80 (9th
Cir. 2009).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
