Merly Zucelly Garcia-Perez, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s order of removal.

See 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (a)(2)(B); Mejia v. Gonzales, 499 F.3d 991, 999 (9th Cir. 2007). Garcia-Perez’s contention that the agency failed to consider certain positive equities is not supported by the record and does not amount to a colorable legal or constitutional claim over which we have jurisdiction. See Mejia, 499 F.3d at 999 .
