   MEMORANDUM

Lazaro Ruiz Alvarez seeks review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals upholding an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) order denying his application for cancellation of removal. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the IJ’s discretionary determination that Ruiz Alvarez failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying relative. See Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 892 (9th Cir.2003).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
