removal. We dismiss the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s determination that Torres-
Mendoza failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a
qualifying relative. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir.
2005). Torres-Mendoza’s contention that he was denied due process by the IJ is
not supported by the record and thus does not invoke our jurisdiction. See Vilchiz-
Soto v. Holder, 688 F.3d 642, 644 (9th Cir. 2012) (absent a colorable legal or
constitutional claim, the court lacks jurisdiction to review the agency’s
discretionary determination regarding hardship); Martinez-Rosas, 424 F.3d at 930(“To be colorable in this context, . . . the claim must have some possible validity.”)
