Oscar Gonzalez v. Eric Holder, Jr.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Oscar Chavez Gonzalez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s order of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review the agency’s factual findings for substantial evidence, Zarate v. Holder, 671 F.3d 1132, 1134 (9th Cir. 2012), and review de novo questions of law, Maldonado-Galindo v. Gonzales, 456 F.3d 1064, 1066 (9th Cir. 2006). We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that Chavez Gonzalez was previously granted cancellation of removal for-certain permanent residents. See Singh-Kaur v. INS, 183 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir. 1999) (“The possibility of drawing two inconsistent conclusions from the evidence does not prevent an administrative agency’s finding from being supported by substantial evidence.” (quotation marks and citation omitted)). Accordingly, the agency did not err in determining that Chavez Gonzalez did not meet his burden of proof to establish eligibility for cancellation of removal, where he previously received that form of relief. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1229a(c)(4), 1229b(c)(6).
We lack jurisdiction to review Chavez Gonzalez’s due process claims because he failed to raise them to the BIA. See Bar *613 ron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir. 2004).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
