620 F. App'x 597 (9th Cir. 2015)

Opinion

No. 13-74162

10-20-2015

MARC NADEAU, Petitioner, v. LORETTA E. LYNCH, Attorney General, Respondent.


NOT FOR PUBLICATION

Agency No. A074-773-299 MEMORANDUM On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Before: SILVERMAN, BYBEE, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

Marc Nadeau, a native and citizen of Canada, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying his application for adjustment of status. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency's discretionary denial of adjustment of status. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i) (the court lacks jurisdiction to review any judgment regarding the discretionary denial of relief under 8 U.S.C. § 1255). Nadeau's due process challenges do not constitute colorable constitutional claims or questions of law that would invoke our jurisdiction. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D); Bazua-Cota v. Gonzales, 466 F.3d 747, 749 (9th Cir. 2006) (per curiam) ("abuse of discretion challenges to discretionary decisions, even if recast as due process claims, do not constitute colorable constitutional claims").

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
