MEMORANDUM **
In these consolidated petitions for review, Edwin Rolando Perez, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for cancellation of removal, and the BIA’s order denying his motion to reopen. Out jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review de novo questions of law, including due process violations, Vasquez-Zavala v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 1105, 1107 (9th Cir.2003), and review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reopen, Perez v. Mukasey, 516 F.3d 770, 773 (9th Cir.2008). In No. OS-74292, we dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review. In No. 07-70817, we deny the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that Perez failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying relative. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir.2005).
