Vian-Romero v. Gonzales

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Jose Luis Vian-Romero and Alicia Vasquez Vian, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order adopting and affirming an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying their applications for cancellation of removal. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that petitioners failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship. See Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 890 (9th Cir. 2003). Petitioners failed to raise questions of law or colorable constitutional claims over which we could exercise jurisdiction. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005) (“traditional abuse of discretion challenges recast as alleged due process violations do not constitute colorable constitutional claims that would invoke our jurisdiction.”).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
