Claro-Agustin v. Holder

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Julian Claro-Agustin, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order summarily affirming an immigration judge’s decision denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Vasquez de Alcan-tar v. Holder, 645 F.3d 1097, 1099 (9th Cir. 2011), and we deny the petition for review.

The agency properly concluded that Cla-ro-Agustin was ineligible for cancellation of removal because he lacked seven years of continuous residence in the United States after being “admitted in any status.” See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(a)(2); Vasquez de Alcantar, 645 F.3d at 1102-03 (an applicant for adjustment of status who entered without inspection is not admitted in any status until his application is approved).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
