Before LOKEN, KELLY, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

      Manuel Ordaz-Flores, a citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an order of
the Board of Immigration Appeals upholding an immigration judge’s (IJ’s) decision
to deny his application for cancellation of removal on discretionary hardship grounds
under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1). After careful review, we conclude that the IJ used the
proper standard in denying relief, and thus that Ordaz-Flores has not raised a
cognizable challenge to the decision below. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to
review the denial, see Gomez-Perez v. Holder, 569 F.3d 370, 372-73 (8th Cir. 2009),
and we dismiss the petition.
