v. Holder, 668 F.3d 1156, 1159 (9th Cir. 2012), and we deny in part and dismiss in
part the petition for review.
The BIA correctly determined that Segovia is statutorily ineligible for
cancellation of removal because his conviction under California Penal Code
§ 487(d)(1) is for a crime involving moral turpitude. See 8 U.S.C.
§§ 1182(a)(2)(A)(i)(I), 1229b(b)(1)(C); United States v. Esparza-Ponce, 193 F.3d
1133, 1136-37 (9th Cir. 1999) (holding that California theft constitutes a crime of
moral turpitude).
We lack jurisdiction to consider Segovia’s unexhausted contentions
regarding the alleged ineffective assistance of counsel, the IJ’s alleged failure to
grant a continuance, and his eligibility for asylum. 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 DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
