Gilberto Morales-Santos v. Eric Holder, Jr.

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION FEB 13 2013 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT GILBERTO MORALES-SANTOS, No. 11-71169 Petitioner, Agency No. A088-644-235 v. MEMORANDUM * ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted February 11, 2013 ** Before: FERNANDEZ, TASHIMA, and WARDLAW, Circuit Judges. Gilberto Morales-Santos, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s denial of his application for cancellation of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of due * 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). process violations. Vilchez v. Holder, 682 F.3d 1195, 1198 (9th Cir. 2012). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review. We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that Morales-Santos failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to his qualifying relatives. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005). Morales-Santos’ contention that he was prevented from reasonably presenting his case is not supported by the record and does not present a colorable claim that establishes our jurisdiction. See id. Morales-Santos’ contention that his case warranted review by a three- member panel of the BIA is unavailing. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.1(e)(6). PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part. 2 11-71169
