MEMORANDUM **

Eduardo Hernandez-Hernandez appeals from the district court’s order denying his motion to dismiss the indictment charging him with being an alien in the United States after deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Hernandez-Hernandez contends that the district court erred by denying his motion to dismiss the indictment because his underlying deportation was invalid. We conclude that Hernandez-Hernandez has not demonstrated a plausible ground for relief from deportation, pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1182(h). See United States v. Muro-Inclan, 249 F.3d 1180, 1185-86 (9th Cir. 2001). Although Hernandez-Hernandez contends that his deportation is causing extreme hardship to his father, a lawful permanent resident, his contention is belied by the fact that his father previously lived in the United States for at least twelve years before his arrival. See id.

AFFIRMED.
