application for relief under the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American
Relief Act of 1997 (“NACARA”). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition
for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary denial of relief

§ 1252(a)(2)(B).
Contrary to Garcia’s contention, the BIA acted within its regulatory

§ 1003.1(d)(3)(i).
Garcia’s remaining contentions are unavailing.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
