questions of law, Altamirano v. Gonzales, 427 F.3d 586, 591 (9th Cir. 2005), and
we deny the petition for review.
Santana Garnica’s contention that his conviction does not render him
ineligible for cancellation of removal because it occurred more than ten years prior
to his application is foreclosed by Flores Juarez v. Mukasey, 530 F.3d 1020, 1022
(9th Cir. 2008) (per curiam) (“[Section] 1229b(b)(1)(C) . . . does not place any
temporal limitation on when the crime was committed.”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
