Saul Lujan-Suarez v. Eric Holder, Jr.

Saul Lujan-Suarez v. Eric Holder, Jr., 543 F. App'x 718 (9th Cir. 2013)

Saul Lujan-Suarez v. Eric Holder, Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Saul Alfredo Lujan-Suarez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s order of removal. We dismiss the petition for review.

Lujan-Suarez does not challenge the BIA’s determination that he is removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(C) due to his conviction for misconduct involving weap *719 ons under Arizona Revised Statutes § 13-3102. His removability on this basis limits our jurisdiction to constitutional claims and questions of law. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(C)-(D).

Lujan-Suarez’s assertion that he has resided in the United States since childhood is not a sufficiently colorable claim to invoke our jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D). See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005) (“To be colorable in this context, the [question of law] need not be substantial, but the claim must have some possible validity.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
