his appeal from an immigration judge’s denial of his application for cancellation of
removal for failure to establish the requisite hardship, this petition is not timely as
to that order. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1) (“The petition for review must be filed not
later than 30 days after the date of the final order of removal.”).
We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s denial of Javier’s motion to reopen,
where the evidence submitted with the motion was not so distinct from that
previously considered in the underlying denial of cancellation of removal as to
constitute a new ground of hardship. See Fernandez v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 592,
602-03 (9th Cir. 2006).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
