Obafemi Oluseun Opesanmi, a native and citizen of Nigeria, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) affirming the immigration judge’s denial of his application for cancellation of removal.

Opesanmi first contends that the immigration judge erred in denying his application for cancellation of removal on the ground that he failed to demonstrate that his removal would result in “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship” to his family. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l) (2000) (setting forth requirements for cancellation of removal). Because the immigration judge’s hardship determination is discretionary in nature, we find that we lack jurisdiction to consider this claim. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)© (2000); Mendez-Moranchel v. Ashcroft, 338 F.3d 176, 179 (3d Cir. 2003); Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 888 (9th Cir. 2003); Okpa v. U.S. INS, 266 F.3d 313, 317 (4th Cir. 2001).

Opesanmi also contends that the Board’s decision to adopt and affirm the immigration judge’s decision on the reasoning of the immigration judge violated his right to due process of law. As Opesanmi fails to establish that he was prejudiced by the Board’s decision to affirm on the reasoning of the immigration judge, see Rusu v. U.S. INS, 296 F.3d 316, 324-25 (4th Cir. 2002), we find that he is not entitled to relief on this claim.

Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials be *327 fore the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
