   MEMORANDUM

Transito Portillo-Duran, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for withholding of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C-. § 1252. We dismiss the petition for review.

The IJ denied Portillo-Duran’s withholding of removal claim on the basis that he failed to demonstrate a nexus to race, religion, political opinion, or other protected ground. The BIA found that, in his counseled appeal, Portillo-Duran did not challenge the IJ’s nexus finding. Thus, we lack jurisdiction over any challenge to the IJ’s nexus finding. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir.2004) (this court lacks jurisdiction to review contentions not raised before the BIA).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED. 
      
       This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
