ORDAZ FLORES v. SESSIONS III (2017)

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Manuel ORDAZ-FLORES Petitioner v. Jefferson B. SESSIONS, III, Attorney General of the United States Respondent

No. 17-1665

Decided: March 05, 2017

Before LOKEN, KELLY, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges.

Raul F. Guerra, Monzon Law, Lincoln, NE, for Petitioner Victoria Marie Braga, Brendan Paul Hogan, Thomas W. Hussey, Carl H. McIntyre, U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Division, Office of Immigration Litigation, Washington, DC, for Respondent

[Unpublished]

Manuel Ordaz-Flores, a citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals upholding an immigration judge’s (IJ’s) decision to deny his application for cancellation of removal on discretionary hardship grounds under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1). After careful review, we conclude that the IJ used the proper standard in denying relief, and thus that Ordaz-Flores has not raised a cognizable challenge to the decision below. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to review the denial, see Gomez-Perez v. Holder, 569 F.3d 370, 372-73 (8th Cir. 2009), and we dismiss the petition.

PER CURIAM.
