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.
