Per Curiam: *
Norma Edith Jaquez Garay, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions
for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing her
appeal from an order of an Immigration Judge denying her application for,
inter alia, cancellation of removal and ordering her removed. She argues that
her due process rights were infringed in connection with her cancellation

proceedings. Cancellation of removal is a discretionary form of relief. See
Santos-Zacaria v. Garland, 143 S. Ct. 1103, 1117–18 (2023); 8 U.S.C.
§ 1229b(b)(1), (b)(2). Aliens have no due process rights with respect to
discretionary relief. Ramos-Portillo v. Barr, 919 F.3d 955, 963 (5th Cir. 2019).
Her due process argument is thus unavailing, and her petition for review is
DENIED.
