Full Opinion
MEMORANDUM ** Wei Lun Zhou petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ discretionary denial of his request for waiver of removal. 8 U.S.C. § 1182 (c) (1995). We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. *77 Simply put, we lack jurisdiction to review discretionary denials of 8 U.S.C. § 1182 (c) relief. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (a)(2)(B)(ii); see also Martinez-Ro-sas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 929 (9th Cir.2005); Torres-Aguilar v. INS, 246 F.3d 1267, 1270 (9th Cir.2001). We recognize that Zhou suggests a constitutional basis for his claims, but at best he has simply attempted to cover bare abuse of discretion arguments with a simulacrum of constitutional clothing. That will not do. See Martinez-Rosas, 424 F.3d at 930 ; Torres-Aguilar, 246 F.3d at 1271 . Petition DISMISSED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
