Opinion:
SUMMARY ORDER
Dure Shahwar Bukhari ("Bukhari"), a native and citizen of Pakistan, seeks review of a December 26, 2012 decision of the BIA affirming the March 81, 2011 decision of an Immigration Judge ("IJ") denying her applications for cancellation of removal and voluntary departure. See In re Dure Shahwar Bukhari, No. [ AXXX XXX XXX ] (B.I.A. Dec. 26, 2012), aff'g No. [ AXXX XXX XXX ] (Immig. Ct. Hartford Mar. 31, 2011). We assume the parties' familiarity with the underlying facts and the procedural history of the case.
Although Bukhari challenges the agency's finding that she was not eligible for cancellation of removal, the BIA affirmed only the IJ's determination as a matter of discretion that Bukhari was not entitled to cancellation of removal or voluntary departure. Thus, under the circumstances of this case, we have reviewed the IJ's decision as modified by the BIA. See Xue Hong Yang v. U.S. Dep't of Justice, 426 F.3d 520, 522 (2d Cir.2005) ("[W]e review the judgment of the IJ as modified by the BIA's decision — that is, minus the single argument for denying relief that was rejected by the BIA.").
Accordingly, the only issue before us is whether the agency erred in determining, as a matter of discretion, that Bukhari was not entitled to cancellation of removal or voluntary departure. We lack jurisdiction to review either of these discretionary decisions. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)© (cancellation of removal), 1229c(f) (voluntary departure); see also Rosario v. Holder, 627 F.3d 58, 62 (2d Cir.2010) (cancellation of removal); Carcamo v. U.S. Dep't of Justice, 498 F.3d 94, 97 (2d Cir.2007) (voluntary departure). We do, however, retain jurisdiction to review constitutional questions or questions of law. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D); Morris v. Holder, 676 F.3d 309, 314 (2d Cir.2012). Bukhari has raised no colorable constitutional claim or question of law regarding the discretionary denial, as she mistakenly argues only that the BIA should have reviewed the IJ's factual findings de novo. See 8 C.F.R. § 1008.1(d)(3)® (stating that the BIA is limited to review of factual findings for clear error).
For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is DISMISSED.
. Bukhari rightly asserts that the IJ erred in considering the two instances of fraud in the analysis of her moral character because those instances occurred more than ten years before her application was filed. See Duron-Ortiz v. Holder, 698 F.3d 523, 527 (7th Cir. 2012) ("Under the statute, an individual who applies for cancellation of removal must show that he has 'been a person of good moral character during such period,' where 'such period' refers to the ten years of physical presence preceding the date of the cancellation application." (citing 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(A)-(B))). Accordingly, Bukhari is in fact eligible for cancellation of removal, inasmuch as the IJ erroneously found that she lacked moral character within the meaning of 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(B), but had satisfied all other elements required for eligibility. Nonetheless, this error does not call into question the IJ's decision to deny cancellation of removal because the flawed eligibility determination cannot be said to have infected the discretionary decision of removal. Unlike the moral-character analysis under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(B), the IJ is not limited to the ten-year statutory period in deciding whether to deny cancellation of removal as a discretionary matter.
