NV/Research
judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying their applications for cancellation of removal. We

dismiss the petition for review.

       Petitioners contend the IJ applied the incorrect legal standard to their

cancellation of removal application by failing to consider all the hardship factors

cumulatively. The record belies this contention. Because the IJ applied the correct

legal standard, we lack jurisdiction to review the IJ’s discretionary hardship

determination. See Mendez-Castro v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 975, 980 (9th Cir. 2009);

see also Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 891 (9th Cir. 2003).

       PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
