Jose Guadalupe CAMPOY CRUZ, Petitioner, v. Jefferson B. SESSIONS III, Attorney General, Respondent.
MEMORANDUM **
Jose Guadalupe Campoy Cruz, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying cancellation of removal. We dismiss the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that Campoy Cruz failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to his qualifying relatives. See Vilchiz-Soto v. Holder, 688 F.3d 642, 644 (9th Cir. 2012). Campoy Cruz’s contentions that the agency failed to consider several pieces of evidence are not supported by the record and do not amount to colorable claims that would invoke our jurisdiction. See id., 688 F.3d at 644 (absent a colorable legal or constitutional claim, the court lacks jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination regarding hardship); Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005) (“To be colorable in this context, ․ the claim must have some possible validity.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted) ).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
