Mitzi Sepulveda v. Eric H. Holder Jr.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Mitzi Sepulveda v. Eric H. Holder Jr., 401 F. App'x 203 (9th Cir. 2010)

Mitzi Sepulveda v. Eric H. Holder Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Mitzi Yanet Sepulveda, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Ramos Barrios v. Holder, 581 F.3d 849, 854 (9th Cir. 2009), and we deny the petition for review.

Sepulveda’s contention that the agency erred in refusing to impute her father’s longer physical presence in the United States in order to satisfy the requirement of 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(A) is unavailing. See Ramos Barrios, 581 F.3d at 859-65 (rejecting contention that parent’s physical presence should be imputed to minor petitioner). The agency therefore correctly determined that Sepulveda lacked the ten years of continuous physical presence necessary to qualify for cancellation of removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
