status. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss the petition
for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary denial of adjustment
of status and Rivera-Rendon does not raise a colorable due process challenge to the
BIA’s dispositive discretionary determination. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i);
Bazua-Cota v. Gonzales, 466 F.3d 747, 748-49 (9th Cir. 2006).
Rivera-Rendon’s remaining contentions are not properly before us because
they concern portions of the immigration judge’s decision that the BIA did not rely
upon. See Santiago-Rodriguez v. Holder, 657 F.3d 820, 829 (9th Cir. 2011)
(review is limited to the grounds relied upon by the BIA).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
