Opinion

Frank Fox Racho, a native and citizen of the Philippines, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for cancellation of removal for legal permanent residents. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the discretionary denial of cancellation of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (a)(2)(B)®. Radio's contention that the IJ improperly weighed the evidence in determining the equities of his case does not amount to a colorable constitutional claim. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir.2005) (“[TJraditional abuse of discretion challenges recast as alleged due process violations do not constitute color-able constitutional claims that would invoke our jurisdiction.”).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
