                                                                          MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK

RICARDO SALAS-HERNANDEZ,                         No.   14-72007

               Petitioner,                       Agency No. A200-963-337

 v.
                                                 MEMORANDUM*
LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General,

               Respondent.

                      On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                          Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted August 16, 2016**

Before:        O’SCANNLAIN, LEAVY, and CLIFTON, Circuit Judges.

      Ricardo Salas-Hernandez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for

review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an

immigration judge’s (“IJ”) order granting post-conclusion voluntary departure.

We dismiss the petition for review.

          *
             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
          **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
      We lack jurisdiction to consider Salas-Hernandez’ unexhausted contentions

that his former counsel provided ineffective assistance, and that the IJ forced his

former counsel to withdraw Salas-Hernandez’ application for cancellation of

removal. 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).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
