removal. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for
substantial evidence factual findings of the IJ. Ramos v. INS, 246 F.3d 1264, 1266
(9th Cir. 2001). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s determination that Vasquez Arellanes
provided false testimony for the purpose of obtaining an immigration benefit,
thereby rendering her unable to establish the requisite good moral character for
cancellation of removal. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1101(f)(6), 1229b(b)(1)(B); see also
Ramos, 246 F.3d at 1266.
Vasquez Arellanes’ remaining contentions lack merit.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
