We lack jurisdiction to consider Serrano’s contention that the immigration judge applied the wrong standard in evaluating hardship because it does not raise a colorable due process claim. See Torres-Aguilar v. INS, 246 F.3d 1267, 1271 (9th Cir. 2001) (“To be colorable ... the claim must have some possible validity”).

In support of reopening, Serrano submitted further evidence of her U.S. citizen daughter’s academic achievements. The BIA acted within its broad discretion in concluding that the evidence was not enough to establish eligibility for cancellation of removal. See id.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part and DENIED in part.
