On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Agency Nos. A201-755-264, A201-755-265

Before: FRIEDLAND, SANCHEZ, and H. THOMAS, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM

Yolany Rosibel Benavides-Garcia and her daughter, citizens of El Salvador, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying their applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"). Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

The petitioners did not challenge before the BIA the denial of their applications for asylum, withholding of removal, or CAT protection. These claims are unexhausted and therefore the court lacks jurisdiction to review them. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 677-78 (9th Cir. 2004).

We are not persuaded by the petitioners' contentions that the agency applied an incorrect legal standard or otherwise violated their due process rights. Rather, the record reflects that the petitioners received a full and fair hearing. See, e.g., Gutierrez v. Holder, 662 F.3d 1083, 1091 (9th Cir. 2011) ("A court will grant a petition on due process grounds only if the proceeding was so fundamentally unfair that the [applicant] was prevented from reasonably presenting his case." (internal citations and quotation marks omitted)).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
