Guatemalan citizen Nery Horlando Catate Cardona petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals, which affirmed an immigration judges’s denial of his application for cancellation of removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b). 1 We lack jurisdiction to review the discretionary determination that Cardona failed to show his removal would result in exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to his children who are United States citizens. See Zacarias-Velasquez v. Mukasey, 509 F.3d 429, 434 (8th Cir. 2007) (under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i), this court lacks jurisdiction to review denial of cancellation of removal for failure to prove exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to Ameriean-citizen child); see also Guled v. Mukasey, 515 F.3d 872, 879-80 (8th Cir. 2008) (petitioner’s argument — that immigration judge improperly weighed factors in denying cancellation of removal — did not present reviewable question of tew because what petitioner was really challenging was “the discretionary conclusion of not meriting a favorable exercise of discretion”).

Accordingly, we dismiss the petition.
