Narrative Opinion Summary
Evangelina Angel Salazar, a Mexican national, filed a pro se petition for review regarding the Board of Immigration Appeals’ summary affirmation of an immigration judge's denial of her cancellation of removal application. The petition is dismissed due to lack of jurisdiction to review the immigration judge’s discretionary finding that Salazar did not demonstrate the required "exceptional and extremely unusual hardship" necessary for cancellation. The court noted that it does not need to assess whether Salazar proved ten years of continuous physical presence in the U.S. The decision is not suitable for publication and cannot be cited in future cases, as per Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
