The BIA did not err in determining that Ray-Duran waived any challenge to
the IJ’s determination that Ray-Duran was subject to the heightened standard of
hardship for a waiver of inadmissability under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(h). Accordingly,
we lack jurisdiction to consider Ray-Duran’s contentions regarding the IJ’s
determination that Ray-Duran was subject to the heightened standard of hardship,
because he failed to raise the issue with the BIA and therefore failed to exhaust his
administrative remedies. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 677-78 (9th Cir.
2004).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
