Heading: Kambolli's CAT Claim

Text: 11 As Kambolli did not raise his CAT claim on appeal to the BIA, he has failed to exhaust his administrative remedies before the Board and therefore has waived his CAT claim on appeal to this Court. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1) (A court may review a final order of removal only if ... the alien has exhausted all administrative remedies available to the alien as of right.); Foster v. INS, 376 F.3d 75, 78 (2d Cir.2004) ([W]e require `[p]etitioner to raise issues to the BIA in order to preserve them for judicial review.' (quoting Cervantes-Ascencio v. INS, 326 F.3d 83, 87 (2d Cir.2003)) (emphasis and second alteration in original)). Kambolli's petition for review must therefore be denied to the extent it seeks review of his CAT claim. 12
