United States Ninth Circuit

In a petition for review of an order of the BIA affirming removal order and a denial of cancellation, petition is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction because: 1) petitioner, a native and citizen of the Philippines, was convicted of two crimes involving moral turpitude, for each of which a sentence of a year or more may be imposed, and which did not arise out of a common criminal scheme; and 2) the denial was wholly discretionary such that there is no colorable legal or constitutional claim.
