Immigration Judge’s decision denying asylum, withholding of removal, and
Convention Against Torture relief. Godoy did not raise before the BIA any of the
issues she raises here. “[F]ailure to raise an issue in an appeal to the BIA
constitutes a failure to exhaust remedies with respect to that question and deprives
this court of jurisdiction to hear the matter.” Zara v. Ashcroft, 383 F.3d 927, 930
(9th Cir. 2004) (quoting Vargas v. U.S. Dep’t of Immigration & Naturalization,
831 F.2d 906, 907–08 (9th Cir. 1987)).
DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
