Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Reyes Basulto Flores, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's ("LJ") decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of constitutional violations in immigration proceedings. Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir.2001). We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the agency's discretionary determination that Flores failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying relative. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir.2005).
Flores contends that the IJ violated due process by making inappropriate comments throughout the hearing and in the IJ's decision. We agree with the BIA that the proceedings comported with due process. See Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir.2000).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
