Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Abraham Gomez Pineda and Ana Pichardo Ramirez, husband and wife, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order denying their motion to reopen removal proceedings. To the extent we have jurisdiction, it is conferred by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of due process violations in immigration proceedings. See Sanchez-Cruz v. INS, 255 F.3d 775, 779 (9th Cir.2001). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to consider Petitioners' challenges to the BIA's underlying order dismissing their direct appeal from the immigration judge's decision denying their application for cancellation of removal, because the instant petition for review is not timely as to that order. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1258 (9th Cir.1996).
Petitioners' constitutional challenges to the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act ("NACARA") are foreclosed by our decision in Jimenez-Angeles v. Ashcroft, 291 F.3d 594, 602-03 (9th Cir.2002) ("Congress's decision to afford more favorable treatment to certain aliens 'stems from a rational diplomatic decision to encourage such aliens to remain in the United States' ").
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
