Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
This is a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying his application for relief under former § 212(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of due process violations. Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir.2000). Respondent has moved to dismiss. We dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the discretionary decision to deny petitioner § 212(c) relief. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(ii); Vargas-Hernandez v. Gonzales, 497 F.3d 919, 923 (9th Cir.2007) ("Discretionary decisions, including whether or not to grant § 212(c) relief, are not reviewable."). Further, petitioner's contentions that the agency improperly weighed the factors in his case, improperly considered the gravity of his criminal offense and failed to follow its own regulations do not state colorable due process claims. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B), (D); Vargas-Hemandez, 497 F.3d at 923.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
