We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s determination that Sanchez-
Rodriguez failed to demonstrate the exceptional and extremely unusual hardship
necessary for cancellation of removal. See Vilchiz-Soto v. Holder, 688 F.3d 642,
644 (9th Cir. 2012) (order) (“[A]bsent a colorable legal or constitutional claim, we
lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary determination that an alien
failed to prove that removal would result in exceptional and extremely unusual
hardship . . . .”).
Sanchez-Rodriguez’s contentions that the agency improperly applied the
legal standard for exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to the facts of his
case and improperly weighed his evidence of hardship are not colorable questions
of law that would invoke our jurisdiction. See De Mercado v. Mukasey, 566 F.3d
810, 816 (9th Cir. 2009); Bazua-Cota v. Gonzales, 466 F.3d 747, 749 (9th Cir.
2006) (per curiam).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
