MEMORANDUM *
ERIC H. HOLDER Jr., Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted January 11, 2010 **
Before: BEEZER, TROTT, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.
Therese Georges Hassrouny, a native and citizen of Lebanon, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an
immigration judge’s (“IJ”) order denying her application for adjustment of status.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without
oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
IH/Research
Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 and we dismiss the petition for
review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the IJ’s discretionary denial of Hassrouny’s
application for adjustment of status. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i); Bazua-Cota
v. Gonzales, 466 F.3d 747, 748 (9th Cir. 2006) (per curiam). Hassrouny’s
contention that the IJ improperly weighed the evidence in her case does not present
a colorable constitutional claim or question of law over which this court may
exercise jurisdiction. See Bazua-Cota, 466 F.3d at 749.
We lack jurisdiction to review Hassrouny’s contention regarding the alleged
ineffective assistance she received from her prior counsel because she did not
exhaust that issue before the BIA. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th
Cir. 2004).
We reject Hassrouny’s attempt to supplement the record. See 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(b)(4)(A) (“[T]he court shall decide the petition only on the administrative
record on which the order of removal is based.”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
