MEMORANDUM **

David S. Haeg petitions pro se for review of a final order of the National Transportation Safety Board (“NTSB”) suspending his commercial pilot certificate. We have jurisdiction under 49 U.S.C. § 1153(a). We will sustain an agency’s decision unless it is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or not otherwise in accordance with the law, and its factual findings unless they are not supported by the substantial evidence. Essery v. Dep’t of Transp., 857 F.2d 1286, 1288 (9th Cir. 1988). We deny the petition.

The NTSB’s order concluding that Haeg flew his plane recklessly and too low over a congested area, in violation of federal regulations, is supported by substantial evidence and free of legal error. See 14 C.F.R. §§ 91.13(a), 91.119(c) (prohibiting careless or reckless aircraft operation and setting a minimum altitude for operation of aircraft over congested areas); Andrzejewski v. FAA, 563 F.3d 796, 799 (9th Cir. 2009) (“The NTSB must leave undisturbed an [administrative law judge’s] credibility finding ‘unless there is a compelling reason or the finding was clearly erroneous.’”).

The administrative law judge did not abuse his discretion in rejecting Haeg’s impeachment evidence as irrelevant. See 5 U.S.C. § 556(d) (providing for exclusion of “irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repetitious evidence”); Atl.Pac. Constr. Co. v. NLRB, 52 F.3d 260, 263 (9th Cir. 1995) (standard of review).

We reject as unsupported Haeg’s contentions regarding alleged prosecutorial misconduct and alleged judicial bias.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
