Submitted May 25, 2010 **
San Francisco, California
Before: CANBY, THOMAS, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

Mexico, petition pro se for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration
Appeals summarily affirming the immigration judge’s denial of their application

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision

for cancellation of removal relief based on their failure to establish the requisite
hardship to their United States citizen children.
Petitioners contend that the agency erred in denying their cancellation
application because their United States citizen children will experience hardship if
they were to move to Mexico with their parents. We lack jurisdiction to review
the IJ’s discretionary hardship determination. See Mendez-Castro v. Mukasey, 552
F.3d 975, 980 (9th Cir. 2009); see also Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887,
891 (9th Cir. 2003).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
