Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Guadalupe Madrid, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") summary affirmance of an immigration judge's ("IJ") denial of her application for suspension of deportation. We apply the transitional rules under the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, and we have jurisdiction under former 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a). Kalaw v. INS, 133 F.3d 1147, 1149-50 (9th Cir.1997). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
Madrid's contentions that the BIA's summary affirmance without an opinion violates due process and that the BIA improperly streamlined her case, are foreclosed by Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 849-56 (9th Cir.2003).
We lack jurisdiction to review the IJ's discretionary determination to deny Madrid's application for suspension of deportation. See Kalaw, 133 F.3d at 1152 ("if the Attorney General decides that an alien's application for suspension of deportation should not be granted as a matter of discretion . the BIA's denial of the alien's application would be unreviewable under the transitional rules.").
Madrid's remaining contentions are also without merit. Pursuant to Elian v. Ashcroft, 370 F.3d 897 (9th Cir.2004) (order), and Salvador-Calleros v. Ashcroft, 389 F.3d 959 (9th Cir.2004), Madrid's voluntary departure period will begin to run upon issuance of this Court's mandate.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part, DISMISSED in part.
