PER CURIAM:

              The    National      Labor       Relations    Board       (“Board”)         seeks

enforcement of a Board order against Engineering Contractors,

Inc.    (“Respondent”).             The    Administrative        Law     Judge       (“ALJ”)

concluded that Respondent violated § 8(a)(1), (3), and (5) of

the    National       Labor       Relations      Act     (“the    Act”),       29     U.S.C.

§ 158(a)(1),        (3),    (5)    (2006),      and    ordered    remedial       measures.

The Board adopted the ALJ’s recommended order in full.

              Respondent          opposes        the     Board’s         petition           for

enforcement, contending that the remedies ordered by the ALJ

were overreaching and impermissibly punitive.                       We conclude that

we     lack    jurisdiction         to    consider       Respondent’s          contentions

because       Respondent      failed      to     raise     its   objections          to    the

remedies ordered in the proceedings before the Board.                                See 29

U.S.C. § 160(e) (2006) (“No objection that has not been urged

before the Board . . . shall be considered by the court, unless

the failure or neglect to urge such objection shall be excused

because       of    extraordinary         circumstances.”);         Woelke       &    Romero

Framing, Inc. v. N.L.R.B., 456 U.S. 645, 665 (1982) (barring

from     judicial       review       issues       not      raised       before       Board);

N.L.R.B. v.        Daniel   Constr.       Co.,    731    F.2d    191,    198     (4th      Cir.

1984) (same).
          Accordingly, we grant the Board’s motion to submit the

case on briefs and the petition for enforcement.                We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal conclusions are

adequately   presented   in   the   materials   before   this    court   and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                         PETITION GRANTED
