The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit dismissed in part and denied in part a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals decision. The court held it lacked jurisdiction to review the Board's discretionary denial of cancellation of removal but retained jurisdiction to address colorable legal claims.

The court held that appellate jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(1) requires a challenge to the underlying removal order, not a standalone challenge to the CAT denial.
