Maricruz Hernandez-Ramires v. Eric H. Holder Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Maricruz Hernandez-Ramires, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying her application for cancellation of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of due process violations in immigration proceedings. Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir. 2001). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to consider Hernandez-Ramires’ contention that the IJ demonstrated bias because Hernandez-Ra-mires failed to raise it before the BIA. See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004) (generally requiring exhaustion of claims before the BIA).

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that Hernandez-Ramires failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship. See *201 Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005).

Hernandez-Ramires’ contention that the BIA’s order was inadequate fails because the order contained “a statement of its reasons for denying [Hernandez-Ramires] relief adequate for us to conduct our review.” See Ghaly v. INS, 58 F.3d 1425, 1430 (9th Cir. 1995).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
