MEMORANDUM

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed.R.App.P. 34(a)(2).


Husband and wife Roberto Ceron Alfaro and Betrice Sacedo de Ceron seek review of the orders of the Board of Immigration Appeals upholding an immigration judge's order denying their applications for cancellation of removal. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the discretionary determination that petitioners failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying relative, see Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 890 (9th Cir. 2003), and petitioners do not raise a colorable due process claim, see Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir. 2005) ("traditional abuse of discretion challenges recast as alleged due process violations do not constitute colorable constitutional claims that would invoke our jurisdiction.").

We do not consider petitioners' contentions regarding good moral character, because petitioners' failure to establish hardship is dispositive.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
