Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Jose Francisco Martinez-Cuadra, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Ap peals' ("BIA") order denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. To the extent we have jurisdiction, it is conferred by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review the denial of a motion to reopen for abuse of discretion. Iturribarria v. INS, 321 F.3d 889, 894 (9th Cir.2003). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in concluding that Martinez-Cuadra failed to demonstrate that he suffered prejudice as a result of alleged ineffective assistance of counsel. See id. at 889-900 (to establish a valid due process claim for ineffective assistance of counsel, an alien must show that she was prejudiced by the attorney's deficient performance). The BIA properly determined that Martinez-Cuadra failed to demonstrate how submission of additional tax returns and evidence regarding his father's illness would have affected the outcome of the proceedings. See id.
We lack jurisdiction to consider Martinez-Cuadra's contention that his prior counsel should have called his wife as a witness, because he failed to raise that issue before the BIA. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir.2004) (holding that exhaustion of an alleged procedural error is mandatory and jurisdictional).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
