MEMORANDUM*

Guillermo Zamora, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of a final order of removal. We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

*715We lack jurisdiction to consider Zamora’s current due process claims — issues which, if meritorious, the Board could have remedied — because he did not raise those claims before the Board of Immigration Appeals. Tall v. Mukasey, 517 F.3d 1115, 1120 (9th Cir.2008). Those claims are dismissed.

We have jurisdiction to consider removability because the Board addressed the issue. Socop-Gonzalez v. INS, 272 F.3d 1176, 1186 (9th Cir.2001) (en banc). The immigration judge and the Board did not err in relying on Zamora’s admissions— made during the pleading stage of his hearing — to each of the allegations in the notice to appear. Perez-Mejia v. Holder, 641 F.3d 1143, 1147-55 (9th Cir.2011). Because these admissions established Zamora’s removability pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(B)© by clear and convincing evidence, we deny the petition for review. 8 C.F.R. § 1240.10(c)-(d).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART.
