Gudino-Ramos v. Ashcroft
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Silvia Gudino-Ramos, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the
To the extent Gudino-Ramos challenges the BIA’s streamlining procedures, her argument is foreclosed by Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 849-56 (9th Cir. 2003). See Torres-Aguilar v. INS, 246 F.3d 1267, 1270-71 (9th Cir. 2001) (“To be colorable ... the claim must have some possible validity.”).
This Court lacks jurisdiction to review the IJ’s discretionary hardship determination under the transitional rules of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, Pub.L. No. 104-208,110 Stat. 3009 (September 30, 1996), § 309(c)(4)(E), and Kalaw v. INS, 133 F.3d 1147, 1152 (9th Cir. 1997) (“The transitional rules ... preclude direct judicial review of BIA’s determinations of the threshold eligibility requirements of ‘extreme hardship’ ”). Therefore, we cannot review the IJ’s hardship determination in this case.
Pursuant to Elian v. Ashcroft, 370 F.3d 897 (9th Cir. 2004) (order), Petitioner’s voluntary departure period will begin to run upon issuance of this Court’s mandate.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part, and DISMISSED in part.
