   MEMORANDUM

Pedro Jesus-Gonzalez, 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 (“IJ”) decision denying his application for withholding of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the IJ’s determination that Jesus-Gonzalez is ineligible for withholding of removal under the “persecutor’s bar” of 8 U.S.C. § 1231(b)(3)(B)(i) because Jesus-Gonzalez failed to exhaust this issue before the BIA. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 677-78 (9th Cir.2004).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
