MEMORANDUM **
Eugene Castronuevo, a native and citizen of the Philippines, was admitted to the United States as a lawful permanent resident in 1991. He petitions for review of two decisions of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board” or “BIA”). In the first petition, No. 04-76473, the BIA dismissed Castronuevo’s appeal from a decision of an Immigration Judge (“IJ”), finding Castronuevo removable for having committed two crimes involving moral turpitude (“CIMT”), denying his application for cancellation of removal, and ordering him removed to the Philippines. In the second petition, No. 05-72495, the BIA denied Castronuevo’s motion for reconsideration. We dismiss No. 04-76473 for lack of jurisdiction, and we deny the petition in No. 05-72495.
“We determine our jurisdiction de novo.” Sillah v. Mukasey, 519 F.3d 1042, 1043 (9th Cir.2008) (per curiam). In No. 04-76473, Castronuevo seeks review of the BIA’s December 2, 2004, decision, which addresses only the IJ’s discretionary decision denying cancellation of removal. 1 We do not have jurisdiction over the BIA’s discretionary denial of cancellation of removal.
