MEMORANDUM **
This is a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order affirming the denial of petitioners’ applications for cancellation of removal.
We have reviewed the record and the responses to the court’s order to show cause, and we conclude that petitioners Gerardo Gonzalez-Elicea and Maria Teresa Gonzalez-Sugura have failed to raise a colorable constitutional or legal claim to invoke our jurisdiction over this petition for review. See Torres-Aguilar v. INS, 246 F.3d 1267, 1271 (9th Cir.2001); Jimenez-Angeles v. Ashcroft, 291 F.3d 594, 602-03 (9th Cir.2002) (rejecting constitutional challenges to IIRIRA and NA-CARA). Accordingly, we dismiss this petition for review with respect to the above petitioners. 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 Gerardo Rafael Gonzalez-Sugura does not challenge the finding that he lacks a qualifying relative as defined in 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(D). The BIA correctly concluded therefore that petitioner .was ineligible for cancellation of removal. See Molina-Estrada v. INS, 293 F.3d 1089,…
