Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
We have reviewed the response to the court's October 7, 2005 order to show cause, and we conclude that petitioners Marcos Palacios Montano, [ AXX-XXX-XXX ], and Edith Aguilar Palacios, [ AXX-XXX-XXX ], have failed to raise a colorable constitutional claim to invoke our jurisdiction over this petition for review. See Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845 (9th Cir. 2003); Torres-Aguilar v. INS, 246 F.3d 1267, 1271 (9th Cir.2001). Accordingly, we sua sponte dismiss this petition for review for petitioners Marcos Palacios Montano, [ AXX-XXX-XXX ], and Edith Aguilar Palacios, [ AXX-XXX-XXX ], for lack of jurisdiction. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)®; Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 892 (9th Cir.2003); Montero-Martinez v. Ashcroft, 277 F.3d 1137, 1144 (9th Cir.2002).
A review of the petition for review also indicates that petitioner Xally Yolotzin Palacios Aguilar, [ AXX-XXX-XXX ], is ineligible for cancellation of removal because she lacks a qualifying relative under the statute. Accordingly, the court also sua sponte summarily denies the petition for review with respect to petitioner Xally Yolotzin Palacios Aguilar, [ AXX-XXX-XXX ], because the questions she has raised in this petition for review are so insubstantial as not to require further argument. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(D) (requiring alien to show that "removal would result in exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to the alien's spouse, parent, or child, who is a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence."); Molina-Estrada v. INS, 293 F.3d 1089, 1093-94 (9th Cir.2002) (denying cancellation of removal where alien lacked a qualifying relative under the statute); United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir.1982) (per curiam) (stating standard).
