Catalina Jimenez Castillo v. Eric Holder, Jr.

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION JUL 23 2012 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT CATALINA JIMENEZ CASTILLO, No. 10-73635 Petitioner, Agency No. A095-291-755 v. MEMORANDUM * ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted July 17, 2012** Before: SCHROEDER, THOMAS, and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges. Catalina Jimenez Castillo, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for cancellation of removal, and declining to reinstate her voluntary departure period. We have * 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). jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s continuous physical presence finding. Landin-Zavala v. Gonzales, 488 F.3d 1150, 1151 (9th Cir. 2007). We deny in part and grant in part the petition for review, and remand for further proceedings. Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s determination that Jimenez Castillo failed to establish the requisite continuous physical presence for cancellation of removal where her testimony conflicted with the affidavits she submitted regarding presence. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(A), (d)(1). As the government acknowledges, the record contains evidence that Jimenez Castillo timely filed proof of posting her voluntary departure bond. See 8 C.F.R. § 1240.26(c)(3)(ii). We therefore remand to the BIA to determine Jimenez Castillo’s eligibility for reinstatement of voluntary departure. Jimenez Castillo’s remaining contentions are unavailing. The parties will bear their own costs for this petition to review. PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; GRANTED in part; REMANDED. 2 10-73635
