U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT

ALFREDO IMANIL, AKA Karl Koja, No. 16-70179

Petitioner, Agency No. A031-230-136

v.

MEMORANDUM*

JEFFERSON B. SESSIONS III, Attorney General,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals

Submitted February 13, 2018**

Before: LEAVY, FERNANDEZ, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges.

Alfredo Imanil, a native and citizen of the Philippines, petitions pro se for

review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an

immigration judge’s decision denying his application for cancellation of removal.

We dismiss the petition for review.

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s denial of cancellation of removal

as a matter of discretion. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i); Monroy v. Lynch, 821

F.3d 1175, 1177-78 (9th Cir. 2016) (holding that petitioner did not raise a

reviewable issue because “he simply disagrees with the agency’s weighing of his

positive equities and the negative factors”).

Although the court would retain jurisdiction over colorable questions of law

and constitutional claims, Imanil raises no such claim. See Martinez-Rosas v.

Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005). (“To be colorable in this context, . . .

the claim must have some possible validity.” (citation and internal quotation marks

omitted)).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
