Before MURPHY, ARNOLD, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.

      Mr. Buimuiwrone Alfred Tarr petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (BIA), which affirmed an immigration judge’s denial of
Mr. Tarr’s request for temporary protected status. We lack jurisdiction to review the
BIA’s decision to deny Mr. Tarr temporary protected status because that decision was
specifically within the BIA’s discretion, and because Mr. Tarr has not raised any
constitutional claim or legal issue to challenge it. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1252(a)(2)(B)(ii),
1252(a)(2)(D), 1254a(a)(1). Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for review.
Respondent’s pending motion is denied as moot.
                        ______________________________
