MEMORANDUM **

Apolinar Hurtado-Hernandez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an order issued by the Board of Immigration Appeals, affirming without opinion the decision of an immigration judge that Hurtado-Hernandez was removable be *851 cause he had been convicted of crimes involving moral turpitude, and denying deferral of removal under the Convention Against Torture. We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.

We have no “jurisdiction to review any final order of removal against an alien who is removable by reason of having committed a criminal offense covered in [8 U.S.C.] section 1182(a)(2).” 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (a)(2)(C). The REAL ID Act provides an exception: “[njothing in subpara-graph ... (C) ... shall be construed as precluding review of constitutional claims or questions of law raised upon a petition for review filed with an appropriate court of appeals in accordance with this section.” 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (a)(2)(D). Hurtado-Her-nandez does not advance any constitutional or statutory challenges to his removal order. We therefore do not have jurisdiction over his petition.

DISMISSED.
