Maria Fuentes-garcia, Petitioner, v. Immigration and Naturalization Service, Respondent, 142 F.3d 443 (9th Cir. 1998)

MEMORANDUM^* 

Maria Fuentes-Garcia, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' decision denying her application for suspension of deportation pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1254(a) (1). She argues that the BIA abused its discretion in finding that she will not suffer extreme hardship if she is deported to Mexico. We deny the petition.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion. See Astrero v. INS, 104 F.3d 264, 267 (9th Cir. 1996); Ramirez-Durazo v. INS, 794 F.2d 491, 498 (9th Cir. 1986). It decided that Fuentes had not shown extreme hardship, and in so doing considered all of the required factors. See Ramirez-Durazo, 794 F.2d at 498-99; Matter of Anderson, 16 I. & N. Dec. 596, 597 (BIA 1978). Among other things, it considered her age when she came to this country, her age at this time, her length of residence here, her economic situation, her integration into the community, her family situation, and economic conditions in Mexico. No doubt she will suffer some hardship, but the BIA could and did properly determine that the hardship was not extreme. See Perez v. INS, 96 F.3d 390, 392-93 (9th Cir. 1996); Hassan v. INS, 927 F.2d 465, 468 (9th Cir. 1991); Carnalla-Munoz v. INS, 627 F.2d 1004, 1006-07 (9th Cir. 1980).

PETITION DENIED.
