   MEMORANDUM

Graciela Fuentes-Aguilera, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision granting voluntary departure. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo constitutional claims. Ibarra-Flores v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 614, 620 (9th Cir.2006). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to consider Fuentes-Aguilera’s unexhausted contention that she is eligible for cancellation of removal as she did not pursue this form of relief before the IJ. 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).

Fuentes-Aguilera’s contention that the IJ violated due process, by not giving her the opportunity to apply for cancellation of removal is belied by the record. See Ibarra-Flores, 439 F.3d at 620-21 (due process claims require showing that proceedings were “so fundamentally unfair that the alien was prevented from reasonably presenting his case”) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
