Palafox v. Mukasey
Opinion
MEMORANDUM
Jose Abraham Palafox, 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 IJ’s discretionary determination that Palafox 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). We do not consider Palafox’s contention regarding physical presence because Palafox’s failure to establish hardship is dispositive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
