   MEMORANDUM

Elmer Alexander Leiva-De Leon, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings conducted in absentia. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to consider Leiva-De Leon’s sole contention, regarding the practicability of personal service, because it was not exhausted before the agency. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir.2004).

Leiva-De Leon has waived any challenge to the BIA’s determinations regarding delivery of his hearing notice and changed country conditions. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir.1996).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
