 ERIC H. HOLDER Jr., Attorney General,

               Respondent.

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

                             Submitted December 15, 2009 **

immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying her application for cancellation of

removal. We dismiss the petition for review.

       We lack jurisdiction to review the IJ’s discretionary determination that

Cuevas Talavera lacks the requisite good moral character for cancellation of

removal. See Moran v. Ashcroft, 395 F.3d 1089, 1091 (9th Cir. 2005) (indicating

that a good moral character determination is only reviewable where it is based on

one of the statutory exclusions found in 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f)), overruled on other

grounds by Sanchez v. Holder, 560 F.3d 1028 (9th Cir. 2009). The IJ’s

discretionary good moral character determination is dispositive of Cuevas

Talavera’s application.

       PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
