PER CURIAM:
Luis Arnold Sanchez Lopez, a native and citizen of Guatemala, petitions for review
of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing his appeal from the
Immigration Judge’s denial of Sanchez Lopez’s application for cancellation of removal.
Sanchez Lopez challenges the agency’s conclusion that he did not qualify for relief because
he failed to demonstrate that his removal would result in exceptional and extremely unusual
hardship to his United States citizen child. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(D). After reviewing
the record, we are satisfied that the agency considered all the evidence, both individually
and cumulatively, and properly concluded that the hardship described “is not so far beyond
the hardship inherent in the removal of a parent as to be exceptional and extremely
unusual.” Cortes v. Garland, __ F.4th __, __, No. 22-1930, 2024 WL 3015424, at *6 (4th
Cir. June 17, 2024). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. In re Sanchez Lopez
(B.I.A. Feb. 24, 2023). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
