John Mangthag v. Jefferson Sessions

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Axel Arnulfo Donis-Alegria, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that Don-is-Alegria 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). Donis-Alegria’s contention that the agency erred in not conducting a future-oriented hardship analysis is not supported by the record and does not amount to a colorable claim that would invoke our jurisdiction. See id. (absent a colorable constitutional claim or question of law, the court lacks jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary hardship determination).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
