United States Third Circuit
Patel v. Attorney General, 09-1572
An Indian citizen's petition for review of the BIA's final order affirming the denial of her application for cancellation of removal is dismissed as there is a lack of jurisdiction to review petitioner's claim that she met her burden of showing an exceptional hardship, because it challenges a discretionary determination and does not present a constitutional question or a question of law. Further, petitioner's motion for a stay of voluntary departure is denied as, in light of 8 C.F.R. section 1240.26(i), petitioner's voluntary departure terminated upon her filing of a petition for review.
