Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss the petition for
review.
The agency denied Chen’s asylum and withholding claims based on an
adverse credibility determination. We lack jurisdiction to consider Chen’s
contentions regarding the adverse credibility determination, because he failed to
raise them to the BIA. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004)
(this court lacks jurisdiction to review issues not raised before the agency); see also
Agyeman v. INS, 296 F.3d 871, 877 (9th Cir. 2002) (“we may not entertain due
process claims based on correctable procedural errors unless the alien raised them
below”).
Chen’s motion for stay of removal is denied as moot. The temporary stay of
removal will terminate upon issuance of the mandate.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
