demonstrate the requisite exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to Petitioner's lawful permanent resident mother.
We lack jurisdiction to review the Board's discretionary determination that Petitioner's motion to reopen still failed to meet the evidentiary burden of establishing the requisite exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to Petitioner's lawful permanent resident mother. Fernandez v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 592, 601 (9th Cir.2006) (holding that if the Board determines that a motion to reopen proceedings, in which there has already been an unreviewable discretionary determination concerning a statutory prerequisite to relief, does not make out a prima facie case for that relief, section 242(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act precludes our revisiting the merits).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
