2005). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that
Aguilar-Zuniga failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to his
qualifying relatives. See id.
We reject Aguilar-Zuniga’s contention that the agency’s decision violated
his children’s due process rights. See Urbano de Malaluan v. INS, 577 F.2d 589,
594 (9th Cir. 1978); see also Morales-Izquierdo v. DHS, 600 F.3d 1076, 1091 (9th
Cir. 2010) (holding that “lawfully denying [the alien parent immigration relief]
does not violate any of his or his family’s substantive rights protected by the Due
Process Clause”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
