FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS OCT 25 2013 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT SAUL ALFREDO LUJAN-SUAREZ, a.k.a. Manuel Suarez-Suares, No. 11-72615 Agency No. A090-526-353 Petitioner, MEMORANDUM* v. ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted October 15, 2013** Before: FISHER, GOULD, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges. Saul Alfredo Lujan-Suarez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ( BIA ) dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge s order of removal. We dismiss the petition for review. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Lujan-Suarez does not challenge the BIA s determination that he is removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(C) due to his conviction for misconduct involving weapons under Arizona Revised Statutes § 13-3102. His removability on this basis limits our jurisdiction to constitutional claims and questions of law. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(C)-(D). Lujan-Suarez s assertion that he has resided in the United States since childhood is not a sufficiently colorable claim to invoke our jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D). See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005) ( To be colorable in this context, the [question of law] need not be substantial, but the claim must have some possible validity. (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)). PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED. 2 11-72615
