Fuentes-Soriano v. Gonzales
Fuentes-Soriano v. Gonzales
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Gustavo Fuentes-Soriano, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an
Fuentes-Soriano’s contention that the IJ refused to allow him to present crucial witnesses is not supported by the record and therefore does not raise a colorable due process claim. See id. (to be color-able, the claim must have some possible validity).
Fuentes-Soriano’s contention that the BIA’s summary affirmance of the IJ’s decision violates due process is foreclosed by Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 850-51 (9th Cir. 2003).
We lack jurisdiction to review the discretionary hardship determination, see Martinez-Rosas, 424 F.3d at 930, as well as Fuentes-Soriano’s contention that the agency misapplied relevant case law in making its conclusion, see Sanchez-Cruz v. INS, 255 F.3d 775, 779 (9th Cir. 2001) (holding that the “misapplication of case law” may not be reviewed).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
