Garcia-Rodriguez v. Holder

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION JAN 21 2010 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT JUAN GARCIA-RODRIGUEZ; No. 07-71643 GUADALUPE MEDINA-MERLOS, Agency Nos. A075-755-800 Petitioners, A095-296-615 v. MEMORANDUM * ERIC H. HOLDER Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted January 11, 2010 ** Before: BEEZER, TROTT, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges. Juan Garcia-Rodriguez and Guadalupe Medina-Merlos, husband and wife and natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order sustaining the government’s appeal from an immigration * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). KS/Research judge’s decision granting petitioners cancellation of removal, and denying petitioners’ motion to remand. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo constitutional claims, Vasquez-Zavala v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 1105, 1107 (9th Cir. 2003), and review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to remand, de Jesus Melendez v. Gonzales, 503 F.3d 1019, 1023 (9th Cir. 2007). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review. We lack jurisdiction over petitioners’ contention that the BIA failed to consider the cumulative impact of their hardship evidence because it is not supported by the record and does not amount to a colorable constitutional claim. See Mendez-Castro v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 975, 980 (9th Cir. 2009). The BIA acted within its broad discretion in determining that the evidence newly presented on appeal was insufficient to warrant a remand. See Singh v. INS, 295 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir. 2002) (BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen shall be reversed if it is “arbitrary, irrational, or contrary to law”). Petitioners’ due process claim fails. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000). Petitioners’ remaining contentions are unavailing. PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part. KS/Research 2 07-71643
