PER CURIAM:
Elina Zalome Erazo Alvarez, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions for review
of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing her appeal from the
Immigration Judge’s decision denying her application for special rule cancellation of
removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(2). The Board found that Erazo Alvarez did not
establish eligibility for relief because she failed to demonstrate that she was battered or
subjected to extreme cruelty. We possess jurisdiction to review the Board’s decision only
to the extent Erazo Alvarez asserts questions of law and constitutional claims. See 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(a)(2)(B)(i), (D); Jean v. Gonzales, 435 F.3d 475, 479-80 (4th Cir. 2006) (holding
that, under § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i), (D), Court has no jurisdiction over any aspects of denial of
relief under § 1229b except constitutional claims or questions of law). Erazo Alvarez’s
sole legal claim – that the Board applied the wrong legal standard in reviewing her appeal
– lacks merit. We do not have jurisdiction over her remaining claims, none of which
present questions of law or constitutional claims. We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal questions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
