Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 892 (9th Cir.2003). Petitioners’ equal protection and due process challenge to the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (“NACARA”) is foreclosed. See Jimenez-Angeles v. Ashcroft, 291 F.3d 594, 602-03 (9th Cir.2002); Hern andez-Mezquita v. Ashcroft, 293 F.3d 1161, 1165 (9th Cir.2002).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED IN PART, AND DENIED IN PART.
