Irma Hidalgo, Petitioner, v. Immigration and Naturalization Service, Respondent, 133 F.3d 927 (9th Cir. 1998)
Annotate this CaseBefore: BROWNING, KLEINFELD, and THOMAS, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM*
Irma Hidalgo, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying her 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 February 28, 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 Hidalgo 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.
