Merly Garcia-Perez v. Loretta Lynch, 669 F. App'x 454 (9th Cir. 2016)

Merly Garcia-Perez v. Loretta Lynch

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Merly Zucelly Garcia-Perez, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s order of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law. Simeonov v. Ashcroft, 371 F.3d 532, 535 (9th Cir. 2004). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s decision to deny as a matter of diseretion Garcia-Perez’s request for a waiver of inadmissibility under Immigration and Nationality Act § 212(h), 8 U.S.C. § 1182(h). See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B); Mejia v. Gonzales, 499 F.3d 991, 999 (9th Cir. 2007). Garcia-Perez’s contention that the agency failed to consider certain positive equities is not supported by the record and does not amount to a colorable legal or constitutional claim over which we have jurisdiction. See Mejia, 499 F.3d at 999.

The agency properly determined that Garcia-Perez was ineligible for cancellation of removal because she had previously received suspension of deportation. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(c)(6).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
