   MEMORANDUM

Rene Enrique Castellón Cespedes, his wife Teresa Elizabeth Garcia-Ayala, and the couple’s children, Juan Marcelo Castellón Garcia and Anazulema Castellón Garcia (“Petitioners”), natives and citizen of Bolivia, petition pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision summarily affirming an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying their application for cancellation of removal. We dismiss in part and deny in part.

This court lacks jurisdiction to review the IJ’s discretionary determination that Petitioners did not qualify for cancellation of removal because they failed to demonstrate “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship.” See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i); see Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 890-91 (9th Cir.2003).

Contrary to Petitioners’ contention, the BIA’s failure to articulate reasons for its decision does not violate due process. See Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 850-51 (9th Cir.2003).

Petitioners’ contention that the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act and the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act violate equal protection is foreclosed by Hemandez-Mezquita v. Ashcroft, 293 F.3d 1161, 1164-65 (9th Cir.2002), which held that in order to demonstrate an equal protection violation, a petitioner must show that a classification is wholly irrational,

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part.
