PER CURIAM:
Emmanuel Djokou, a native and citizen of Cameroon,
seeks review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
dismissing his appeal from the Immigration Judge’s decision
denying his application for a waiver under 8 U.S.C.
§ 1186a(c)(4) (2006), and finding him ineligible for voluntary
departure. We have reviewed the administrative record and
conclude that we are without jurisdiction to review those
determinations. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i), (ii) (2006);
Suvorov v. Gonzales,
441 F.3d 618, 621-22 (8th Cir. 2006);
Ngarurih v. Ashcroft,
371 F.3d 182, 193 (4th Cir. 2004). Though
Djokou raises a claim that he was denied due process in the
hearing regarding the waiver, we note that such a claim is not
cognizable given that “[n]o property or liberty interest can
exist when the relief sought is discretionary.” Dekoladenu v.
Gonzales,
459 F.3d 500, 508 (4th Cir. 2006), cert. denied,
128
S. Ct. 2986 (2008).
We accordingly dismiss the petition for review. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DISMISSED
