Mejia Salguero v. Holder

MEMORANDUM ** Silverio Mejia Salguero, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review from the Board of Immigration Appeals’ summary affirmance of an immigration judge’s denial of his applications for suspension of deportation. We lack jurisdiction to review the IJ’s discretionary determination that petitioner *755 failed to demonstrate the requisite hardship. See Kalaw v. INS, 133 F.3d 1147, 1151-52 (9th Cir.1997). To the extent Sal-guero raises a due process challenge to the hardship determination, we lack jurisdiction because the claim is not colorable. See Torres-Aguilar v. INS, 246 F.3d 1267, 1271 (9th Cir.2001) (indicating that an applicant may not create the jurisdiction Congress chose to remove simply by cloaking an abuse of discretion argument in constitutional garb). We also lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s decision to summarily affirm the immigration judge’s decision. See Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 855 (9th Cir.2003) (where the issue before the court is nonreviewable, so is the BIA’s decision to summarily affirm). PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
