ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,

               Respondent.

                      On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                          Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted January 15, 2013 **

Before:        SILVERMAN, BEA, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges.

       Gustavo Rafael Rivera-Rendon, 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 decision denying his application for adjustment of

status. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss the petition

for review.

      We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary denial of adjustment

of status and Rivera-Rendon does not raise a colorable due process challenge to the

BIA’s dispositive discretionary determination. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i);

Bazua-Cota v. Gonzales, 466 F.3d 747, 748-49 (9th Cir. 2006).

      Rivera-Rendon’s remaining contentions are not properly before us because

they concern portions of the immigration judge’s decision that the BIA did not rely

upon. See Santiago-Rodriguez v. Holder, 657 F.3d 820, 829 (9th Cir. 2011)

(review is limited to the grounds relied upon by the BIA).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
