De Leon v. Gonzales

Dissenting Opinion

REINHARDT, Circuit Judge,

dissenting.

I would deny the motion to dismiss with respect to the claims for cancellation of removal, because petitioners have raised colorable legal questions that give this court jurisdiction over this petition for review. See Torres-Aguilar v. INS, 246 F.3d 1267 (9th Cir. 2001). I would deny the motion for summary affirmance with respect to petitioner Donald Marin Martinez De Leon’s other claims, because the questions raised are sufficiently substantial to require further argument.

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Respondent’s motion to dismiss this petition for review for lack of jurisdiction is granted with respect to petitioner Sandra Fabiola Molina Ramirez and with respect to petitioner Donald Marin Martinez de Leon’s cancellation of removal claim. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i); Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 892 (9th Cir. 2003); Montero-Martinez v. Ashcroft, 277 F.3d 1137, 1144 (9th Cir. 2002).

Respondent’s motion for summary disposition is granted with respect to petitioner Donald Marin Martinez De Leon’s remaining claims, because the questions raised are so insubstantial as not to require further argument. See United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th *615Cir. 1982) (per curiam) (stating standard); Zheng v. Ashcroft, 332 F.3d 1186 (9th Cir. 2003). Petitioners Donald Fernando Martinez Molina, Sandra Paola Martinez Molina, and Leonardo Daniel Martinez Molina have not applied for any relief. Accordingly, this petition for review is denied with respect to petitioners Donald Marin Martinez De Leon, Donald Fernando Martinez Molina, Sandra Paola Martinez Molina, and Leonardo Daniel Martinez Molina.

Ml other pending motions are denied as moot. The temporary stay of removal and voluntary departure confirmed by Ninth Circuit General Order 6.4(c) and Desta v. Ashcroft, 365 F.3d 741 (9th Cir. 2004), shall continue in effect until issuance of the mandate.
