Bermudez v. Gonzales

Lead Opinion
*640 MEMORANDUM **
Raul Gamboa Bermudez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) order denying his application for cancellation of removal. We dismiss the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that Gamboa Bermudez failed to demonstrate the “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship” necessary to qualify for cancellation of removal. See Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 892 (9th Cir.2003).
Gamboa Bermudez’s contention that the I J’s determination that he was not credible prejudiced his case does not raise a color-able due process challenge. See Torres-Aguilar v. INS, 246 F.3d 1267, 1271 (9th Cir.2001) (“To be colorable ... the claim must have some possible validity”); Ortiz v. INS, 179 F.3d 1148, 1153 (9th Cir.1999) (“Due process challenges to deportation proceedings require a showing of prejudice to succeed.”).
The voluntary departure period was stayed, and that stay will expire upon issuance of the mandate. See Desta, v. Ashcroft, 365 F.3d 741 (9th Cir.2004).
