Pacifico Clarete Gonzaga; Luzvisminda Abcede Gonzaga, Petitioners, v. Immigration and Naturalization Service, Respondent, 133 F.3d 927 (9th Cir. 1998)

 Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 133 F.3d 927 (9th Cir. 1998) Submitted Jan. 12, 1998. **Jan. 20, 1998

Before: BROWNING, KLEINFELD, and THOMAS, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM* 

Pacifico Clarete Gonzaga and Luzvisminda Gonzaga, natives and citizens of the Philippines, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying their application pursuant to Section 244(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1254(a), for suspension of deportation. Because the BIA's final order of deportation was entered on March 10, 1997, the transitional rules of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 ("IIRIRA") apply. See Kalaw v. INS, No. 97-70106, slip op. 14093, 14098-99 (9th Cir. Dec. 1, 1997).

The BIA determined in its discretion that petitioners failed to demonstrate extreme hardship. We therefore lack jurisdiction. See IIRIRA Section 309(c) (4) (E); Kalaw, slip op. 14093 at 14101-03.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir. R. 34-4
