Gonzalez v. Holder

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION FEB 24 2010 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT ROGELIO GONZALEZ, No. 05-76074 Petitioner, Agency No. A090-829-855 v. MEMORANDUM * ERIC H. HOLDER Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted February 16, 2010 ** Before: FERNANDEZ, GOULD, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges. Rogelio Gonzalez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his 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 concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). KS/Research judge’s decision denying him relief under former Immigration and Nationality Act § 212(c). We dismiss the petition for review. We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s dispositive discretionary decision to deny Gonzalez section 212(c) relief, and he does not raise a colorable constitutional claim to overcome this jurisdictional bar. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(ii); Vargas-Hernandez v. Gonzales, 497 F.3d 919, 923 (9th Cir. 2007) (“Discretionary decisions, including whether or not to grant § 212(c) relief, are not reviewable.”). PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED. KS/Research 2 05-76074
