Salvador Lopez-Pena v. Eric Holder, Jr.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Salvador Lopez-Pena v. Eric Holder, Jr., 507 F. App'x 746 (9th Cir. 2013)

Salvador Lopez-Pena v. Eric Holder, Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Gilberto Morales-Santos, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s denial of his application for cancellation of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of due process violations. Vilchez v. Holder, 682 F.3d 1195, 1198 (9th Cir. 2012). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that Morales-Santos failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to his qualifying relatives. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005). Morales-Santos’ contention that he was prevented from reasonably presenting his case is not supported by the record and does not present a colorable claim that establishes our jurisdiction. See id.

Morales-Santos’ contention that his case warranted review by a three-member panel of the BIA is unavailing. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.1(e)(6).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
