MEMORANDUM ***

Petitioner Carlos Leonidas Sosa seeks review of the decision of an Immigration Judge finding him ineligible for former INA § 212(c) relief. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and we deny the petition. Because the ground of deporta-bility sustained against Sosa lacks a statutory counterpart in the grounds of inadmissibility, § 212(c) relief was unavailable. In re Blake, 23 I. & N. Dec. 722 (BIA 2005). In Abebe v. Gonzales, 493 F.3d 1092, No. 05-76201, 2007 WL 1965165 (9th Cir. July 9, 2007), we rejected the objections to the Blake rule that are raised in Sosa’s petition.

PETITION DENIED.
