MEMORANDUM **

Jose Jesus Quezada-Gomez (“Quezada-Gomez”) petitions for review of the Attorney General’s reinstatement of a deportation order pursuant to the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) § 241(a)(5), 8 U.S.C. § 1231 (a)(5). We lack jurisdiction to review the underlying deportation order because Quezada-Gomez failed to exhaust his administrative remedies, and prior orders of removal are not subject to reopening or review. See Castro-Cortez v. INS, 239 F.3d 1037 , 1044 (9th Cir.2001); see also INA § 241(a)(5).

The deportation order was properly reinstated because Quezada-Gomez (1) had been previously deported, (2) admitted his identity, and (3) illegally reentered the United States in 1999. See Castro-Cortez, 239 F.3d at 1048; see also 8 C.F.R. § 241 .8.

PETITION DISMISSED.
