MEMORANDUM*
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

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.
