based on her failure to establish the requisite hardship to her United States citizen
children.
Contreras Gonzales contends that the BIA erred in denying her cancellation
application because her United States citizen children will experience hardship if
she is removed to Guatemala. We lack jurisdiction to review the IJ’s discretionary
hardship determination. See Mendez-Castro v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 975, 980 (9th
Cir. 2009); see also Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 891 (9th Cir. 2003).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
