Angel Balbuena v. Eric Holder, Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Angel Balbuena, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s denial of adjustment of status as a matter of discretion. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary denial of adjustment of status, see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)®, and Balbuena does not raise a colorable due process challenge to this discretionary determination, see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D); Bazua-Cota, v. Gonzales, 466 F.3d 747, 748-49 (9th Cir. 2006).

In light of this disposition, we do not reach Balbuena’s remaining contentions.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
