JTK/Research
We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 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.
Medina-Larios’ contention that his convictions do not render him ineligible
for cancellation of removal because they occurred over ten years prior to his
application is foreclosed by Flores-Juarez v. Mukasey, 530 F.3d 1020, 1022 (9th
Cir. 2008) (“[Section] 1229b(b)(1)(C) . . . does not place any temporal limitation
on when the crime was committed.”).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
