motion to reopen removal proceedings. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C.

Membreno v. Gonzales, 425 F.3d 1227, 1229 (9th Cir. 2005) (en banc). We deny
in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying De Leon Angel’s timely
motion to reopen removal proceedings. See id. at 1229-30.
We lack jurisdiction to consider the new contentions that De Leon Angel
raises for the first time in her opening brief. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674,
678 (9th Cir. 2004) (no jurisdiction over issues or claims not presented in
administrative proceedings below).
We reject De Leon Angel’s request for inclusion in the court’s mediation
program.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
