Before: SILVERMAN, CALLAHAN, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

       Ignacio Hernande Ugalde, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for

review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals upholding the

immigration judge’s denial of his application for cancellation of removal based on

his failure to establish the requisite hardship to his United States citizen children,

and denying his motion to remand to consider additional hardship evidence.

      We lack jurisdiction to review the underlying discretionary determination

that petitioner failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a

qualifying relative. See Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 892 (9th Cir.

2003). We also lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary determination

that the evidence of hardship petitioner submitted with his motion to remand was

insufficient to establish a prima facie case for cancellation of removal. See

Fernandez v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 592, 601, 603 (9th Cir. 2006).

      Petitioner contends that the BIA violated his due process rights when it

failed to properly evaluate the proffered new evidence of hardship, which consisted

of additional evidence of his daughter’s speech and language problems. Petitioner

contends that the BIA should have remanded to the IJ for further consideration of

his new evidence of hardship. Petitioner’s contention, however, is contradicted by

the record because the BIA did review the proffered evidence, and concluded that

petitioner had failed to establish the requisite hardship to support his cancellation
