United States Eighth Circuit

In a petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying petitioner's application for cancellation of removal, the petition is denied where the BIA plainly stated that it was exercising its discretion in denying relief to petitioner, and because that was so, the court had no jurisdiction unless petitioner raised colorable legal or constitutional claims, which she did not.
