Karla Raygoza Cozar v. Eric Holder, Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Karla Yedid Raygoza Cozar, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s denial of her application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s continuous physical presence determination, Ibarra-Flores v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 614, 618 (9th Cir. 2006), and we deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Raygoza Cozar did not demonstrate the requisite ten years of continuous physical presence in the United States where there was inconsistent testimony related to her residential history from 1995 to 1998 and a lack of documentary evidence for that period. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(A). Contrary to Raygoza Cozar’s contention, the agency was permitted to consider Raygoza Cozar’s failure to supply evidence corroborating her testimony in the absence of an adverse credibility finding. See 8 U.S.C § 1229a(c)(4)(B).

In light of this disposition, we need not reach Raygoza Cozar’s remaining contentions.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
