PER CURIAM:

Nabor Gonzalez Gonzalez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of

an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing his appeal from the immigration

judge’s denial of his application for cancellation of removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1).

In denying cancellation of removal, the immigration judge found that Gonzalez failed to

show that his removal would cause an exceptional and extremely unusual hardship for his

United States citizen daughter. We review this determination as a mixed question of fact

and law. Gonzalez Galvan v. Garland, 6 F.4th 552, 560 (4th Cir. 2021).

We have reviewed the administrative record in conjunction with the arguments

advanced by Gonzalez and conclude there is no error in the agency’s dispositive hardship

determination. We also conclude that Gonzalez’s daughter was not deprived of any

constitutional rights due to the denial of Gonzalez’s application for cancellation of removal.

Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
