§ 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Altamirano v. Gonzales, 427 F.3d
586, 591 (9th Cir. 2005), and we deny the petition for review.
Sosa-Garcia does not challenge that he was convicted of a crime of domestic
violence, rendering him removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(E)(i). Sosa-
Garcia’s contention that the petty offense exception found in 8 U.S.C.
§ 1182(a)(2)(A)(ii)(II) is applicable to the ground of removability in 8 U.S.C.
§ 1227(a)(2)(E)(i) is without merit. We need not reach his challenges to the
agency’s two alternative grounds for removability.
Sosa-Garcia’s remaining contentions are not persuasive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
