We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s determination that Lopez did not
merit cancellation of removal in the exercise of discretion. See Bermudez v.
Holder, 586 F.3d 1167, 1169 (9th Cir. 2009) (per curiam).
Lopez’s contentions that he qualifies for cancellation of removal, that his
removal will cause him to suffer extreme hardship, and that the agency did not
carefully review his cancellation application are not colorable questions of law that
would invoke our jurisdiction. Id. (“‘[A]ny challenge of an [IJ’s] discretionary
determination must present a colorable claim’ in order for this court to exercise
jurisdiction.” (citation omitted)).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
