MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted July 11, 2017**
Before: CANBY, KOZINSKI, and HAWKINS, Circuit Judges.
David Juarez, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the
Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration
judge’s decision denying his application for asylum. Our jurisdiction is governed
by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss in part and deny in part 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).

The agency found Juarez did not establish eligibility for asylum on the basis
of having either soldiers or guerillas attempt to recruit him in El Salvador. We
lack jurisdiction to consider the contention Juarez raises for the first time in his
opening brief that he was or would be persecuted as a member of a particular social
group of children who refused conscription. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674,
677-78 (9th Cir. 2004) (petitioner must exhaust claims in administrative
proceedings below).
Apart from his social group argument, Juarez does not otherwise challenge
the agency’s reasons for denying his asylum claim. Thus, we deny the petition for
review.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
