   MEMORANDUM

Marisela Orozco de Munoz, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of constitutional violations and questions of law. Khan v. Holder, 584 F.3d 773, 776 (9th Cir.2009). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

The agency correctly concluded that Or-zoco de Munoz is ineligible to adjust status because she is inadmissible under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(9)(C)(i)(I) for having accrued more than one year of unlawful presence in the United States and then reentering without admission. See Garfias-Rodriguez v. Holder, No. 09-72603, 702 F.3d 504, 2012 WL 5077137, at *7 (9th Cir. Oct. 19, 2012) (en banc) (aliens who are inadmissible under 8 U.S.C. § 1 182(a)(9)(C)(i)(I) are not eligible for adjustment of status under 8 U.S.C. § 1255(i)).

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that Or-ozco de Munoz lacked good moral character under the catch-all provision of 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f). See Lopez-Castellanos v. Gonzales, 437 F.3d 848, 854 (9th Cir.2006). Orozco de Munoz’s contention that the agency applied an incorrect legal standard for determining moral character is not supported by the record. See MATTER OF GUADARRAMA DE CONTRERAS, 24 I. & N. Dec. 625, 627 (BIA 2008).

In light of the determinations above, Orozco de Munoz’s contentions that the agency’s denial of adjustment of status and cancellation of removal violated due process fail. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir.2000) (an alien must show error and prejudice to prevail on a due process claim).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
