MEMORANDUM

Mario Hernandez Ortiz, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s order denying his application for cancellation of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary determination that Hernandez Ortiz lacked good moral character pursuant to the catch-all provision at 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f). Lopez-Castellanos v. Gonzales, 437 F.3d 848, 854 (9th Cir.2006). Because our resolution of this issue is dispositive, we need not reach his constitutional claims regarding the BIA’s hardship determination.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
