We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo * 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). questions of law, Altamirano v. Gonzales, 427 F.3d 586, 591 (9th Cir. 2005), and we deny the petition for review.

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.”).
