Jose Cruz Maldonado v. Eric H. Holder Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Jose Cruz Maldonado and Maribel Mendoza-Perez, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition pro se for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals summarily affirming the immigration judge’s denial of their application for cancellation of removal relief based on their failure to establish the requisite hardship to them United States citizen children.

Petitioners contend that the agency erred in denying their cancellation application because their United States citizen children will experience hardship if they were to move to Mexico with their parents. We lack jurisdiction to review the IJ’s discretionary hardship determination. See Mendez-Castro v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 975, 980 (9th Cir. 2009); see also Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 891 (9th Cir. 2003).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
