   MEMORANDUM

Uri Campos Avalos, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s order of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

Campos Avalos fails to raise, and therefore has waived, any challenge to the agency’s determinations. See Lopez-Vasquez v. Holder, 706 F.3d 1072, 1079-80 (9th Cir. 2013) (a petitioner waives a contention by failing to raise it in the opening brief).

We lack jurisdiction to consider Campos Avalos’ unexhausted contentions that his removal proceedings should be reopened and that he established he would be persecuted due to his expressed views against the government of Mexico. See Tijani v. Holder, 628 F.3d 1071, 1080 (9th Cir. 2010) (the court lacks jurisdiction to consider legal claims not presented in an alien’s administrative proceedings before the agency).

We lack jurisdiction to consider Campos Avalos’ contention that his case should be remanded for consideration of prosecutorial discretion. See Vilchiz-Soto v. Holder, 688 F.3d 642, 644 (9th Cir. 2012) (order).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
