DOMINGUEZ RUIZ v. WHITAKER (2018)

MEMORANDUM **

Laurita Dominguez-Ruiz, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for cancellation of removal. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that Dominguez-Ruiz failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to her qualifying relatives. See Mendez-Castro v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 975, 978-79 (9th Cir. 2009). Although the court would retain jurisdiction over colorable questions of law and constitutional claims, the record does not support Dominguez-Ruiz’s contention that the agency failed to apply the correct legal standard where the agency cited to and applied Matter of Recinas, 23 I. & N. Dec. 467 (BIA 2002). See Mendez-Castro, 552 F.3d at 980 (the agency applies the correct legal standard where it expressly cites and applies relevant case law in rendering its decision).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
