Cardenas v. Mukasey
Cardenas v. Mukasey
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
This is a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying petitioners’ application for cancellation of removal.
A review of the administrative record demonstrates that the minor petitioner has presented no evidence that he has a qualifying relative for purposes of cancellation of removal as defined in 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(D). See Molina-Estrada v. INS, 293 F.3d 1089, 1093-94 (9th Cir. 2002). The BIA therefore correctly concluded that the minor petitioner was ineligible for cancellation of removal. Accordingly, we deny the petition for review in part as to the minor petitioner. See United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir. 1982) (per curiam).
We have reviewed the response to the order to show cause, and we conclude that petitioners Carlos Hernandez Cardenas and Maria Guadalupe Ocegueda have failed to raise a colorable constitutional or legal claim to invoke our jurisdiction over this petition for review. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926 (9th Cir. 2005); Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 852 (9th Cir. 2003); Torres-Aguilar v. INS, 246 F.3d 1267, 1271 (9th Cir. 2001). Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for review for lack of jurisdiction in part as to petitioners Carlos Hernandez Cardenas and Maria Guadalupe Ocegueda. 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).
All 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.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
