Immigration Appeal’s (“BIA”) order denying their motion to reopen immigration
proceedings. We dismiss the petition for review.
The evidence petitioners presented with their motion to reopen concerned
the same basic hardship grounds as their application for cancellation of removal.
See Fernandez v. Gonzalez, 439 F.3d 592, 602-03 (9th Cir. 2006). We therefore
lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary determination that the evidence
was insufficient to establish a prima facie case of hardship. See id. at 601.
Our conclusion that we lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s determination
that petitioners did not make out a prima facie case of hardship forecloses their
contention that the BIA violated due process. See id. at 603-04.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
