MEMORANDUM*

2
Estela Flores, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") affirming an Immigration Judge's ("IJ") decision denying her request for suspension of deportation under 8 U.S.C. § 1254(a)(1) for lack of extreme hardship.  Because the BIA's final order of deportation was entered February 4, 1997, the transitional rules of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 ("IIRIRA") apply to Flores' petition.  See Kalaw v. INS, No. 97-70106, slip op. 14093, 14098-99 (9th Cir.  Dec. 1, 1997).  Under those rules, we are without jurisdiction to review the BIA's "extreme hardship" determination.  See id. at 14101-03.  Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for review.
