cancellation of removal for legal permanent residents. We dismiss the petition for
review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary denial of Lat’s
application for cancellation of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i).
We also lack jurisdiction over Lat’s constitutional challenges to 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(a)(2)(B)(i), because in light of our precedent the claims are not colorable.
See De Mercado v. Mukasey, 566 F.3d 810, 816 (9th Cir. 2009); Kalaw v. INS, 133
F.3d 1147, 1152 (9th Cir. 1997), superseded by statute on other grounds as stated
in Trejo-Mejia v. Holder, 593 F.3d 913, 915 (9th Cir. 2010).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
