review.
Absent a colorable question of law or constitutional claim, we lack
jurisdiction to review the agency’s determination that Tejeda Cruz failed to merit
voluntary departure as a matter of discretion. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229c(f); Corro-
Barragan v. Holder, 718 F.3d 1174, 1177 (9th Cir. 2013) (the court’s jurisdiction
over challenges to the agency’s discretionary voluntary departure determination is
limited to constitutional claims or questions of law).
Tejeda Cruz establishes no error in the agency’s denial of administrative
closure.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
