United States First Circuit

Petition for judicial review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) upholding the Immigration Judge's denial of petitioner's special rule cancellation of removal under the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act and affirming the rejection of petitioner's remaining claims for relief is dismissed for want of jurisdiction, where: 1) petitioner's challenge to the way in which the agency weighed the evidence and balanced negative and positive factors is not a claim that raises a legal question, and in such circumstances, this court lacks jurisdiction to review the agency's denial of special rule cancellation of removal; and 2) this court lacks jurisdiction to review petitioner's remaining unexhausted claims.
