FILED NOV 26 2014 NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT ANTONIO GARCIA-ROMERO, Petitioner, No. 12-73149 Agency No. A088-666-090 v. MEMORANDUM* ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted November 18, 2014** Before: LEAVY, FISHER, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges. Antonio Garcia-Romero, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) 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). We lack jurisdiction over the petition for review under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i) because Garcia-Romero is challenging the agency’s discretionary denial of cancellation of removal, see Mendez-Castro v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 975, 978 (9th Cir. 2009), and he has not set forth a colorable constitutional claim or question of law over which we could otherwise exercise jurisdiction, see id. (any challenge of an IJ’s discretionary determination must present a colorable constitutional claim or question of law in order for this court to exercise jurisdiction). PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED. 2 12-73149
