This is a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order affirming without opinion an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) order denying petitioners’ application for cancellation of removal. The IJ found that the two adult petitioners failed to establish exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to their qualifying relatives and that the two child petitioners did not have a qualifying relative.
We construe respondent’s motion to dismiss as a motion to dismiss as to the adult petitioners and a motion for summary disposition as to the child petitioners. We have reviewed the response to the court’s order to show cause, and we conclude that the two adult petitioners have failed to raise a colorable constitutional or legal claim to invoke our jurisdiction over this petition for review. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926 (9th Cir.2005); Torres-Aguilar v. INS, 246 F.3d 1267, 1271 (9th Cir.2001). Accordingly, we grant respondent’s motion to dismiss this petition for review for lack of jurisdiction as to the two adult petitioners. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (a)(2)(B)®; Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 892 (9th Cir. 2003); Montero-Martinez v.…
