   MEMORANDUM

Fram Marildo Paiz-Morales, a native and citizen of Guatemala, and Eunice Paiz, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying their applications for canceUation of removal. To the extent we have jurisdiction, it is conferred by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of due process violations in immigration proceedings. See Sanchez-Cruz v. INS, 255 F.3d 775, 779 (9th Cir.2001). We dismiss in part, deny in part, and remand in part the petition for review.

The petitioners’ contention that the agency deprived them of due process by misapplying the law to the facts of their case does not state a colorable due process claim. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir.2005) (“[traditional abuse of discretion challenges recast as alleged due process violations do not constitute colorable constitutional claims that would invoke our jurisdiction.”); see also Sanchez-Cruz, 255 F.3d at 779 (holding that the “misapplication of case law” may not be reviewed). To the extent the contention can be construed to challenge the IJ’s interpretation of the hardship standard, it fails because the IJ’s interpretation falls within the broad range authorized by the statute. See Ramirez-Perez v. Ashcroft, 336 F.3d 1001, 1004-06 (9th Cir. 2003).

Contrary to the petitioners’ contention, the BIA did not affirm the IJ’s decision without opinion. However, the BIA did fail to address the petitioners’ claim that the IJ denied them a full and fair hearing by prejudging the evidence. See Barroso v. Gonzales, 429 F.3d 1195, 1208 (9th Cir. 2005) (indicating that the BIA is not free to ignore arguments raised by a petitioner in his appellate brief). Accordingly, we remand this portion of the petition to the BIA to consider the petitioners’ challenge in the first instance. See INS v. Ventura, 537 U.S. 12, 16, 123 S.Ct. 353, 154 L.Ed.2d 272 (2002) (per curiam).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED in part; DENIED in part; REMANDED in part.
