JUAN ENRIQUEZ-RAMOS
Petitioner
v.
MICHAEL B MUKASEY, U S ATTORNEY GENERAL
Respondent
Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
BIA No. A99 095 683
Before DAVIS, GARZA, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Juan Enriquez-Ramos, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review
of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) affirming the
Immigration Judge’s denial of his application for cancellation of removal under
8 U.S.C. § 1229b. Because cancellation of removal is governed by § 1229b, the
jurisdictional bar of 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i) applies in the instant case.
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion
should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
No. 07-60919
This court lacks jurisdiction to review the Attorney General’s discretionary
decision regarding cancellation of removal, see Rueda v. Ashcroft, 380 F.3d 831,
831 (5th Cir. 2004), unless the appeal involves constitutional claims or questions
of law. See § 1229b(b); § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i). Despite his contentions to the
contrary, Enriquez-Ramos’s appeal does not involve a constitutional claim or a
question of law. Therefore, this court does not have jurisdiction to review this
claim. See Sung v. Keisler, 505 F.3d 372, 377 (5th Cir. 2007).
Accordingly, the petition for review is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
