               Respondent.

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

                             Submitted September 13, 2010 **

Before:        SILVERMAN, CALLAHAN, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

       Mirna Irene Vazquez Vital, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for

review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal

from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying her application for

cancellation of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We

dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review.

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

Vazqez Vital failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to her

qualifying relatives. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 929-30 (9th

Cir. 2005).

      Vazquez Vital’s contention that the IJ’s alleged bias deprived her of due

process is not supported by the record, and her remaining due process challenge is

unpersuasive.

      We reject Vazquez Vital’s contention that the BIA issued a boilerplate

decision without reviewing the record, because she has not overcome the

presumption that the BIA did review the record. See Larita-Martinez v. INS, 220

F.3d 1092, 1095-96 (9th Cir. 2000).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
