Clerk
No. 05-60787
Summary Calendar
MORTAZA NASSIRAN,
Petitioner,
versus
ALBERTO R. GONZALES, U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL,
Respondent.
Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
BIA No. A74 085 447
Before JONES, Chief Judge, and KING and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Mortaza Nassiran, a native and citizen of Iran, appeals
the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) decision affirming the
Immigration Judge’s denial of his application for cancellation of
removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b. Because cancellation of removal is
governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1229b, the jurisdictional bar of 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(a)(2)(B)(I) applies in the instant case. This court lacks
jurisdiction to review the Attorney General’s discretionary
decision regarding cancellation of removal. See Wilmore v.
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this
opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
Gonzales, 2006 WL 1828644, __ F.3d ___ (5th Cir. July 5, 2006);
Rueda v. Ashcroft, 380 F.3d 831, 831 (5th Cir. 2004); 8 U.S.C.
§ 1229b(b); 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(I). The petition for review
is DISMISSED.
