Martinez v. Ashcroft
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Lazaro Ornelas-Bermudez and Ama Adriana Montalvo, husband and wife and natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of orders of the Board of Immigration Appeals affirming pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 3.1(a)(7), without opinion, an immigration judge’s removal order and denial of their applications for cancellation of removal.

Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 851-52 (9th Cir. 2003) (holding that the BIA’s streamlining regulations do not violate an alien’s due process rights).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
