                  Respondent.

                      On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                          Board of Immigration Appeals

                           Submitted December 14, 2016**

Before:       WALLACE, LEAVY, and FISHER, Circuit Judges.

        Gabriel Torres-Hernandez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se

for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his

appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision finding him removable. Our

jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the

denial of a motion to remand. Taggar v. Holder, 736 F.3d 886, 889 (9th Cir.

2013). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

      We do not consider new evidence Torres-Hernandez attached to and

referenced in his opening brief. See Fisher v. INS, 79 F.3d 955, 963 (9th Cir.

1996) (en banc) (this court’s review is limited to the administrative record).

      We lack jurisdiction to consider Torres-Hernandez’s past persecution claim

and his asserted fear of future harm from a specific cartel claimed for the first time

in his opening brief. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 677-78 (9th Cir. 2004)

(petitioner must exhaust issues in administrative proceedings below).

      Torres-Hernandez testified he did not fear harm or torture if he returned to

Mexico. Consequently, the IJ did not consider his eligibility for asylum,

withholding of removal, and CAT relief. In his brief to the BIA he asked to have

his case remanded. The BIA did not abuse its discretion by not remanding Torres-

Hernandez’s asylum, withholding of removal, and CAT claims where he failed to

establish prima facie eligibility for asylum. See Garcia v. Holder, 621 F.3d 906,

912 (9th Cir. 2010) (prima facie eligibility is demonstrated by showing a

                                          2                                      15-71148
reasonable likelihood that the statutory requirements for relief have been satisfied).

      Finally, on September 16, 2015, the court granted a stay of removal pending

review. Thus, Torres-Hernandez’s additional motion for a stay of removal pending

review (Docket Entry No. 11), received on September 24, 2015, is denied as

unnecessary.

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
