   MEMORANDUM

This is a petition for review from the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing an appeal of an immigration judge’s denial of cancellation of removal as to petitioner Ana Maria Gomez-Cisneros, [ AXXX-XXX-XXX ], and from orders adopting and affirming an Immigration Judge’s order denying the two minor petitioners’ applications for cancellation of removal.

Respondent has filed a motion to dismiss this petition for review for lack of jurisdiction. We construe this motion in part as a motion for summary disposition.

We have reviewed the motion to dismiss this petition for review for lack of jurisdiction, and we conclude that petitioner Ana Maria Gomez-Cisneros, [ AXXX-XXX-XXX ], has failed to raise a colorable constitutional or legal claim to invoke our jurisdiction over this petition for review. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926 (9th Cir. 2005); Torres-Aguilar v. INS, 246 F.3d 1267,1271 (9th Cir.2001). Accordingly, respondent’s motion to dismiss this petition for review for lack of jurisdiction is granted. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i); Romero-Tonyes v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 892 (9th Cir.2003); Montero-Martinez v. Ashcroft, 277 F.3d 1137, 1144 (9th Cir. 2002).

A review of the administrative record demonstrates that the minor petitioners, A095-313^57 and [ AXXX-XXX-XXX ], have presented no evidence that petitioners have a qualifying relative for purposes of cancellation of removal as defined in 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(D). See Molina-Estrada v. INS, 293 F.3d 1089, 1093-94 (9th Cir.2002). The BIA therefore correctly concluded that, as a matter of law, the minor petitioners are ineligible for cancellation of removal. Accordingly, respondent’s motion for summary disposition is granted as to the two minor petitioners because the questions raised by this petition for review are so insubstantial as not to require further argument. See United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir.1982) (per curiam).

All other pending motions are denied as moot. The temporary stay of removal and voluntary departure confirmed by Ninth Circuit General Order 6.4(c) and Desta v. Ashcroft, 365 F.3d 741 (9th Cir.2004), shall continue in effect until issuance of the mandate.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
