cancellation of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We
dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that
Petitioners failed to establish that qualifying relatives would experience
exceptional and extremely unusual hardship upon their removal. See Martinez-
Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 929-30 (9th Cir. 2005).
Petitioners do not challenge the denial of their applications for voluntary
departure. Petitioners’ challenge to 8 C.F.R. § 1240.26(i) is foreclosed by Garfias-
Rodriguez v. Holder, 702 F.3d 504, 523-28 (9th Cir. 2012) (en banc).
We do not consider whether lead Petitioner established good moral character
because his failure to establish the requisite hardship is dispositive. See 8 U.S.C. §
1229b(b)(1).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
