MEMORANDUM **

This is a petition for review from the denial of petitioners’ applications for cancellation of removal.

See 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (a)(2)(B)(i); Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 892 (9th Cir.2003); Montero-Martinez v. Ashcroft, 277 F.3d 1137, 1144 (9th Cir.2002).

Petitioner Veronica Perez Gomez does not challenge the finding that she lacks a qualifying relative to establish eligibility for cancellation of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(D); Vasquez-Zavala v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 1105, 1107 (9th Cir.2003). Accordingly, respondent’s motion for summary disposition in part is granted. See United States v.
