Angeles-Martinez v. Holder

NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FILED FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT JUN 02 2010 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS PORFIRIO ANGELES-MARTINEZ, No. 07-74732 a.k.a. Porfirio Angelas-Martinez, Agency No. A020-566-679 Petitioner, v. MEMORANDUM * ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted May 25, 2010 ** Before: CANBY, THOMAS, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges. Porfirio Angeles-Martinez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). We review de novo questions of law, Husyev v. Mukasey, 528 F.3d 1172, 1177 (9th Cir. 2008), and we deny the petition for review. The record establishes that Angeles-Martinez was convicted of possession of marijuana for sale in violation of California Health & Safety Code § 11359. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1101(a)(48)(A), 1229a(c)(3)(B)(v). The agency therefore properly concluded that Angeles-Martinez is inadmissable under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(2)(A)(i)(II) and ineligible for a waiver of inadmissibility under section 212(h) of the Immigration and Nationality Act or cancellation of removal. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1182(h), 1229b(b)(1)(C). As this conclusion is dispositive, we do not address Angeles-Martinez’s remaining contentions. PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 2 07-74732
