Josephino Paano; Josephine Reyes Paano, Petitioners, v. Immigration and Naturalization Service, Respondent, 139 F.3d 907 (9th Cir. 1998)

 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 139 F.3d 907 (9th Cir. 1998) Decided Feb. 23, 1998. Submitted February 9, 1998. **

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals.

Before PREGERSON, CANBY, and LEAVY, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM* 

Josephino Paano and his wife Josephine Reyes Paano, natives and citizens of the Philippines, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' (BIA) decision affirming the denial of their applications for suspension of deportation under 8 U.S.C. § 1254(a). Because the BIA's final order of deportation was entered on December 3, 1996, the transitional rules of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) apply. See Kalaw v. INS, Nos. 97-70106, 97-70294, 97-70333, slip op. 14093, 14098-99 (9th Cir. Dec. 1, 1997). The BIA determined in its discretion that the Paanos failed to demonstrate extreme hardship. We therefore lack jurisdiction. See IIRIRA § 309(c) (4) (E); Kalaw, slip op. 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
