June 13, 2022 Filing 18 MANDATE ISSUED Richard A. PAEZ, Johnnie B. RAWLINSON, Paul J. WATFORD [Entered: 06/13/2022 09:23:00 AM]
April 21, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 17 ORDER FILED. Richard A. PAEZ, Johnnie B. RAWLINSON, Paul J. WATFORD Petitioner seeks review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) denying his motion to reconsider. We lack jurisdiction to review the agencys denial of reconsideration of its subjective, discretionary determination that petitioner failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying relative. See 8 U.S.C. 1252(a)(2)(B); Vilchiz-Soto v. Holder, 688 F.3d 642, 644 (9th Cir. 2012) ([T]he BIAs denial of the motion to reconsider falls outside the courts jurisdiction because the court cannot reconsider the discretionary, fact-based determination that petitioners failed to demonstrate the requisite hardship.). The petition does not raise a colorable legal or constitutional claim over which we retain jurisdiction. See 8 U.S.C. 1252(a)(2)(D); Vilchiz-Soto, 688 F.3d at 644. Because the agencys hardship determination is dispositive of cancellation of removal, we do not reach petitioners arguments related to his daughters status as a qualifying relative, the delay in agency appellate proceedings, or the request for nunc pro tunc adjudication. See Simeonov v. Ashcroft, 371 F.3d 532, 538 (9th Cir. 2004) (courts and agencies are not required to reach non-dispositive issues). The governments motion to dismiss this petition for lack of jurisdiction (Docket Entry No. 16) is granted. PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED. [Entered: 04/21/2022 01:41:00 PM]
