MEMORANDUM **
This is a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order adopting and affirming an Immigration Judge’s order denying petitioners’ applications for cancellation of removal.
We have reviewed the record and the response to the court’s November 3, 2008 order to show cause, and we conclude that petitioner Jose de Jesus Barragan-Barragan has failed to raise a colorable constitutional or legal claim to invoke our jurisdiction over this petition for review.

Accordingly, we grant respondent’s motion to dismiss this petition for review for lack of jurisdiction with respect to petitioner Jose de Jesus Barragan-Barragan. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (a)(2)(B)(i); Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 892 (9th Cir.2003); Mont ero-Martinez v. Ashcroft, 277 F.3d 1137, 1144 (9th Cir.2002).
A review of the administrative record also demonstrates that the minor petitioner has presented no evidence that he has a qualifying relative for purposes of cancellation of removal as defined in 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(D). See Molina-Estrada v. INS, 293 F.3d…
