Francisco Orea-Barbosa v. Eric H. Holder Jr.
Francisco Orea-Barbosa v. Eric H. Holder Jr.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Francisco Javier Orea-Barbosa, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Castillo-Cruz v. Holder, 581 F.3d 1154, 1158-59 (9th Cir. 2009), and we deny the petition for review.
The agency properly concluded that Orea-Barbosa was statutorily ineligible for cancellation of removal because his conviction constituted a crime of domestic violence. Banuelos-Ayon v. Holder, 611 F.3d 1080, 1083 (9th Cir. 2010) (conviction under California Penal Code § 273.5 categorically a crime of violence). His remaining contentions are unavailing. See Vasquez-Hernandez v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1053, 1056-57 (9th Cir. 2010); see also Sanchez v. Holder, 560 F.3d 1028, 1032 (9th Cir. 2009) (“A statute giving the Attorney General discretion to grant relief from inadmissibility does not give the Attorney General discretion to grant relief from removal”) (emphasis in original).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
