jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of due
process violations. Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir.
2005). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that
Aguilar-Zuniga failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to his
qualifying relatives. See id.
We reject Aguilar-Zuniga’s contention that the agency’s decision violated
his children’s due process rights. See Urbano de Malaluan v. INS, 577 F.2d 589,
594 (9th Cir. 1978); see also Morales-Izquierdo v. DHS, 600 F.3d 1076, 1091 (9th
Cir. 2010) (holding that “lawfully denying [the alien parent immigration relief]
does not violate any of his or his family’s substantive rights protected by the Due
Process Clause”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
