Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Singh H. Sohal-Kulvinder, a native and citizen of India, petitions pro se for review *437 of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order summarily affirming an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Vasquez-Zavala v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 1105, 1107 (9th Cir. 2003), and we deny the petition for review.

The IJ properly determined that Sohal-Kulvinder was removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(ii) for having been convicted of two crimes involving moral turpitude not arising out of a single scheme of criminal misconduct. See Cuevas-Gaspar v. Gonzales, 430 F.3d 1013, 1020 (9th Cir. 2005) (“[Cjrimes of theft or larceny are crimes involving moral turpitude.”). A waiver for this ground of removability was unavailable to Sohal-Kulvinder. See Aguilar-Ramos v. Holder, 594 F.3d 701, 706 (9th Cir. 2010); Garcia-Jimenez v. Gonzales, 488 F.3d 1082, 1086 (9th Cir. 2007) (an alien cannot receive both cancellation of removal and § 212(c) relief).

Sohal-Kulvinder’s remaining contention is not persuasive.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
