MEMORANDUM ***

Jesus Christian Paez-Carrasco seeks review of the Immigration Judge’s October 22, 2008, decision pretermitting Paez’s application for cancellation of removal and ordering him removed from the United States. Paez sought to have his U.S. citizen step-father’s residence imputed to him for the purpose of establishing continuous residence to obtain cancellation of removal. However, he now concedes that Holder v. Martinez Gutierrez, — U.S. —, 132 S.Ct. 2011, 182 L.Ed.2d 922 (2012), decided after the BIA’s decision, bars him from establishing his period of residence through a parent.

Paez also argues that the government has not met its burden of proving that he is removable. The evidence reveals, however, that Paez was convicted of several California controlled substances violations involving methamphetamine, which renders Paez removable as an alien convicted *790 of violating a state law relating to a controlled substance. 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(B)(i).

Accordingly, the petition is DENIED.
