v.

Respondent.
No. 08-71347

MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted September 13, 2010**
Before: SILVERMAN, CALLAHAN, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
Maricruz Hernandez-Ramires, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal
from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying her application for
cancellation of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We

review de novo claims of due process violations in immigration proceedings. Ram
v. INS, 243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir. 2001). We dismiss in part and deny in part the
petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to consider Hernandez-Ramires’ contention that the IJ
demonstrated bias because Hernandez-Ramires failed to raise it before the BIA.
See Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004) (generally requiring
exhaustion of claims before the BIA).
We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that
Hernandez-Ramires failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship.
See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005).
Hernandez-Ramires’ contention that the BIA’s order was inadequate fails
because the order contained “a statement of its reasons for denying [Hernandez-
Ramires] relief adequate for us to conduct our review.” See Ghaly v. INS, 58 F.3d
1425, 1430 (9th Cir. 1995).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
