Medina v. Gonzales

MEMORANDUM **

Respondent’s motion to dismiss this petition for review for lack of jurisdiction is granted. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i); Fernandez v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 592 (9th Cir.2006); Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 892 (9th Cir.2003). The petition for review is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction as to petitioners Agustin Victorino Montes Medina, Agency No. A95-191-263 and Martha Elisa Torres Sanchez, Agency No. A95-191-264.

In addition, with respect to petitioners, Victor Aonso Montes Torres, Agency No. A95-191-265, and Ricardo Omar Montes Torres, Agency No. A95-191-266, the court summarily denies the petition for review because these petitioners lack a qualifying relative under the statute and are therefore ineligible for cancellation of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(D) (requiring alien to show that “removal would result in exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to the alien’s spouse, parent, or child, who is a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence.”); Molina-Estrada v. INS, 293 F.3d 1089, 1093-94 (9th Cir.2002) (denying cancellation of removal where alien lacked a qualifying relative under the statute); United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir.1982) (per curiam) (stating standard).
