Arellano-Celaya v. Gonzales
Citation: 194 F. App'x 484Docket: No. 05-73545
Court: Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit; July 31, 2006; Federal Appellate Court
Alicia Arellano-Celaya, a Mexican citizen, sought review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ decision, which upheld an immigration judge's ruling that denied her application for cancellation of removal. The petition for review was dismissed due to a lack of jurisdiction over the agency's discretionary finding that she did not demonstrate exceptional and extremely unusual hardship, referencing Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales. Arellano-Celaya's claims of judicial bias and the application of new legal standards were found unsupported and did not constitute valid due process claims. Furthermore, the court lacked jurisdiction over her assertion that the agency misapplied its precedents, as established in Sanchez-Cruz v. INS, where misapplication of case law is not subject to review. Other arguments presented by Arellano-Celaya were deemed meritless. The decision is not suitable for publication and cannot be cited in future cases, following 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
