Edmundo Zuniga-Aldama v. Eric Holder, Jr., 487 F. App'x 381 (9th Cir. 2012)

Edmundo Zuniga-Aldama v. Eric Holder, Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Edmundo Zuniga-Aldama, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Vilchez v. Holder, 682 F.3d 1195, 1198 (9th Cir. 2012), and we dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that Zuni-ga-Aldama failed to demonstrate exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying relative. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005).

Zuniga-Aldama has failed to establish any legal error in the IJ’s consideration of the evaluation from his medical expert.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
