the Immigration and Nationality Act. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Mielewczyk v. Holder, 575 F.3d 992,
994 (9th Cir. 2009), and we dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the IJ’s discretionary denial of Lomeli-
Robles’ application for § 212(c) relief. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(ii);
Vargas-Hernandez v. Gonzales, 497 F.3d 919, 923 (9th Cir. 2007).
Lomeli-Robles’ contention that the IJ applied an incorrect legal standard in
adjudicating his application for § 212(c) relief is not persuasive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
