   MEMORANDUM

Javier Flores-Arias, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) summary affirmance of an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. We dismiss in part and deny in part.

We lack jurisdiction over the IJ’s “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship” determination because it involves an exercise of discretion. See Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 892 (9th Cir.2003).

Flores-Arias’ contention that the BIA’s summary affirmance procedure violates due process is foreclosed by our decision in Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 851 (9th Cir.2003).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
