petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s denial of cancellation of removal
for failure to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying
relative, and Novoa-Diaz does not raise a colorable legal or constitutional claim
that would invoke our jurisdiction. See Vilchiz-Soto v. Holder, 688 F.3d 642, 644
(9th Cir. 2012) (absent a colorable legal or constitutional claim, the court lacks
jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary hardship determination); Larita-
Martinez v. INS, 220 F.3d 1092, 1095-96 (9th Cir. 2000) (petitioners must
overcome presumption that agency reviewed all evidence); Najmabadi v. Holder,
597 F.3d 983, 990-91 (9th Cir. 2010) (agency adequately considered evidence and
sufficiently announced its decision).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
