Julian Torres-Mendoza v. Loretta E. Lynch

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Julian Torres-Mendoza v. Loretta E. Lynch, 667 F. App'x 273 (9th Cir. 2016)

Julian Torres-Mendoza v. Loretta E. Lynch

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Julian Alonso Torres-Mendoza, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“U”) decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s determination that Torres-Mendoza failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying relative. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005). Torres-Mendoza’s contention that he was denied due process by the IJ is not supported by the record and thus does not invoke our jurisdiction. See Vilchiz-Soto v. Holder, 688 F.3d 642, 644 (9th Cir. 2012) (absent a colorable legal or constitutional claim, the court lacks jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination regarding hardship); Martinez-Rosas, 424 F.3d at 930 (“To be colorable in this context, ... the claim must have some possible validity.”) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
