This is a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order affirming an Immigration Judge’s order denying the application for cancellation of removal of petitioners Jose Tenorio-Paredes, Marisca Osornio and minor son.
A review of the administrative record demonstrates that petitioners have presented no evidence that the minor son has a qualifying relative for purposes of cancellation of removal as defined in 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(D).

Accordingly, respondent’s motion for summary denial is granted in part as to petitioner minor son because the questions raised by this petition for review are so insubstantial as not to require further argument. See United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir.1982) (per curiam).
Further, we have reviewed the response to the court’s March 12, 2008 order to show cause, and we conclude that petitioners have failed to raise a colorable constitutional or legal claim to invoke our jurisdiction over this petition for review. See…
