Immigration Litigation, Civil Division, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
Washington, D.C., for Respondent.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Olinda Arreaga-Borrayes and her minor daughter, natives and citizens of
Guatemala, petition for review of the order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”)
dismissing their appeal from the immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying Arreaga-
Borrayes’ applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the
Convention Against Torture. The Board dismissed the appeal because the notice of appeal
was not timely filed within 30 days of the mailing of the IJ’s decision. Because the
Petitioners failed to exhaust administrative remedies, we lack authority to review the final
order. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1) (2018) (requiring exhaustion of administrative remedies);
8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(47)(B)(ii) (2018) (order becomes final after expiration of the period in
which the alien is permitted to seek review).
Accordingly, because the Petitioners failed to exhaust administrative remedies, we
dismiss the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DISMISSED
