questions of law, Vilchez v. Holder, 683 F.3d 1195, 1198 (9th Cir. 2012), and we
dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that
Zuniga-Aldama failed to demonstrate exceptional and extremely unusual hardship
to a qualifying relative. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th
Cir. 2005).
Zuniga-Aldama has failed to establish any legal error in the IJ’s
consideration of the evaluation from his medical expert.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
