Amaro-Alvarez v. Mukasey
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Juana Amaro-Alvarez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immi
We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary determination that Amaro-Alvarez failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying relative. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 929-30 (9th Cir. 2005).
Amaro-Alvarez’s contention that the IJ violated her due process rights by disregarding her evidence of hardship does not amount to a colorable constitutional claim. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005) (“[Tjraditional abuse of discretion challenges recast as alleged due process violations do not constitute colorable constitutional claims that would invoke our jurisdiction.”).
We are not persuaded that Amaro-Alva-rez’s removal results in the deprivation of the rights of her qualifying relatives. See Urbano de Malaluan v. INS, 577 F.2d 589, 594 (9th Cir. 1978).
Amaro-Alvarez’s contention that the BIA improperly engaged in fact finding is unavailing.
Amaro-Alvarez’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
