   MEMORANDUM

We lack jurisdiction over this petition for review because Rodriguez-Sandoval challenges only the Board of Immigration Appeals’ discretionary determination that he failed to establish that his children, if removed to Mexico, would suffer exceptional and extremely unusual hardship. 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(B); Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 892 (9th Cir.2003) (Court of Appeals lacks jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary determination that an alien failed to satisfy the extreme and unusual hardship requirement for cancellation of removal).

Pursuant to Desta v. Ashcroft, 365 F.3d 741 (9th Cir.2004), Rodriguez-Sandoval’s motion for stay of removal included a timely request for stay of voluntary departure. Because the stay of removal was granted, the voluntary departure period was also stayed, nunc pro tunc, to the filing of the motion for stay of removal and this stay will expire upon issuance of the mandate.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
