Ceja-Cervantes

MEMORANDUM ***

Juan Ceja-Cervantes, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. Ceja’s application was initially rejected by an Immigration Judge on the ground that he had not established that his removal would constitute an “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship,” as required by 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(D). On appeal, the BIA affirmed the IJ’s decision, agreeing with the IJ that Ceja did not satisfy the hardship requirement. The BIA also ruled that Ceja did not meet the 10-year continuous-physical-presence requirement under 8 U.S.C. *113 § 1229b(b)(l)(A). Ceja contends that the BIA erred in both of these findings. Because we lack jurisdiction to review Ceja’s challenge to the hardship standard, we dismiss his petition.

We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary decisions regarding cancellation of removal, including its hardship determinations. Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 891-92 (9th Cir.2003). Ceja attempts to avoid this bar by framing his challenge to the BIA’s hardship determination in constitutional terms. See Ramirez-Perez v. Ashcroft,…
