NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS JAN 26 2022 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT JOSE IGNACIO REYES-MORFIN, No. 20-73698 Petitioner, Agency No. A047-734-518 v. MEMORANDUM* MERRICK B. GARLAND, Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted January 19, 2022** Before: SILVERMAN, CLIFTON, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges. Jose Ignacio Reyes-Morfin, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order sustaining the Department of Homeland Security’s appeal from an immigration judge’s decision granting his application for cancellation of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). § 1252. We dismiss the petition for review. We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary decision to deny cancellation of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i); see also Szonyi v. Barr, 942 F.3d 874, 896 (9th Cir. 2019) (“This court lacks jurisdiction to review the merits of a discretionary decision to deny cancellation of removal . . . .”). The petition does not raise a colorable legal or constitutional claim over which we retain jurisdiction. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D); Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005). PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED. 2 20-73698 20-73698 Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ca9 9th Cir. Jose Reyes-Morfin v.
