PER CURIAM: *
Jose Efren Sanchez Ramirez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions
this court for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)
dismissing an appeal from an immigration judge’s (IJ) decision denying his
request for a waiver of inadmissibility under former Immigration and
Nationality Act § 212(c), 8 U.S.C. § 1182(c). Although Sanchez Ramirez
attempts to phrase his arguments in legal and constitutional terms, he is, in

No. 13-60828
essence, seeking review of the discretionary denial of § 212(c) relief. The
discretionary denial of relief under § 212(c) does not present a question of law
or a constitutional claim over which this court has jurisdiction. Delgado-
Reynua v. Gonzales, 450 F.3d 596, 599-600 (5th Cir. 2006); Marquez-Marquez
v. Gonzales, 455 F.3d 548, 560-61 (5th Cir. 2006). Therefore, we lack
jurisdiction to review Sanchez Ramirez’s challenge to the BIA’s decision
dismissing his appeal of the IJ’s denial of his application for § 212(c) relief.
The petition for review is DISMISSED.
