FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION JUL 13 2010 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT RAUL GONZALEZ VARGAS; No. 08-70115 GRACIELA M. GONZALEZ, Agency Nos. A075-260-204 Petitioners, A075-260-205 v. MEMORANDUM * ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted June 29, 2010 ** Before: ALARCÓN, LEAVY, and GRABER, Circuit Judges. Raul Gonzalez Vargas and Graciela M. Gonzalez, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s order pretermitting their applications for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing * 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). for substantial evidence the agency’s continuous physical presence determination, Lopez-Alvarado v. Ashcroft, 381 F.3d 847, 850 (9th Cir. 2004), we deny the petition for review. The record does not compel the conclusion that Gonzalez Vargas met his burden to establish continuous physical presence where he provided insufficient evidence of his presence from April 1988 onwards. See Singh-Kaur v. INS, 183 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir. 1999) (a contrary result is not compelled where there is “[t]he possibility of drawing two inconsistent conclusions from the evidence”). PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 2 08-70115
