PER CURIAM.

Nigerian citizen Olakunle Olamide Olaitan petitions for review of an order of

the Board of Immigration Appeals(BIA), which denied his motion to remand his case

Appellate Case: 19-2396 Page: 1 Date Filed: 03/25/2020 Entry ID: 4895216
to the immigration judge (IJ).1 Having jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252, this court

denies the petition.

This court concludes the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying remand. 

See Caballero-Martinez v. Barr, 920 F.3d 543, 549 (8th Cir. 2019) (standard of

review). To the extent Olaitan asksthis court to consider how hisremoval may result

in hardship to his wife, this court declines to consider issues or evidence raised for

the first time on appeal. See Agha v. Holder, 743 F.3d 609, 616 (8th Cir. 2014)

(aliens may appeal only issues exhausted at administrative level); Lukowski v. INS,

279 F.3d 644, 646 (8th Cir. 2002) (“judicial review is limited to the administrative

record”).

The petition is denied, and the motion to supplement the record is denied as

moot. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

______________________________

1The portion of the BIA’s order dismissing Olaitan’s appeal from the IJ and the

IJ’s decision are not before this panel. See Chay-Velasquez v. Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 751,

756 (8th Cir. 2004) (claim not raised in opening brief is waived).
