Manuel ORDAZ-FLORES Petitioner v. Jefferson B. SESSIONS, III, Attorney General of the United States Respondent
    No. 17-1665
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Filed: March 5, 2017
    Submitted: February 20, 2018
    Raul F. Guerra, Monzon Law, Lincoln, NE, for Petitioner
    Victoria Marie Braga, Brendan Paul Hogan, Thomas W. Hussey, Carl H. McIntyre, U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Division, Office of Immigration Litigation, Washington, DC, for Respondent
    Before LOKEN, KELLY, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Manuel Ordaz-Flores, a citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals upholding an immigration judge’s (IJ’s) decision to deny his application for cancellation of removal on discretionary hardship grounds under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l). After careful review, we conclude that the IJ used the proper standard in denying relief, and thus that Ordaz-Flores has not raised a cognizable challenge to the decision below. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to review the denial, see Gomez-Perez v. Holder, 569 F.3d 370, 372-73 (8th Cir. 2009), and we dismiss the petition.
