Maria Duran Martinez v. Jefferson Sessions
Maria Duran Martinez v. Jefferson Sessions
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Maria Alicia Juana Duran Martinez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s order of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law and for substantial evidence factual findings. Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petition for review.
The agency correctly concluded that Duran Martinez was statutorily ineligible for adjustment of status under 8 U.S.C. § 1255(i) because she is inadmissible under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(9)(C)(i)(I), where substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that she reentered the United States without being admitted, after previously accruing more than one year of unlawful presence. See Garfias-Rodriguez v. Holder, 702 F.Sd 504, 513-14 (9th Cir. 2012) (en banc). Contrary to Duran Martinez’s contention, the agency did not rely on her witness’s testimony in making that determination.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
