Pablo Enrique Marin Rojas, Huntington Park, CA, pro se.
CAC-District Counsel, Esquire, Office of the District Counsel Department of Homeland Security, Los Angeles, CA, DOJ — U.S. Department of Justice Civil Division/Office of Immigration Litigation, Washington, DC, Ronald E. Lefevre, Office of the District Counsel Department of Homeland Security, San Francisco, CA, for Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. Agency No. A099-051-138.
Before: ALARCON, LEAVY, and GRABER, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Pablo Enrique Marin Rojas, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order summarily affirming an immigration judge's ("IJ") removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing de novo questions of law, Castillo-Perez v. INS, 212 F.3d 518, 523 (9th Cir. 2000), we deny the petition for review.
The IJ properly concluded Rojas was statutorily ineligible for cancellation of removal because he lacks a qualifying relative. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(D); see also Molina-Estrada v. INS, 293 F.3d 1089, 1093-94 (9th Cir. 2002) (denying cancellation of removal where alien lacked a qualifying relative).
Rojas' remaining contentions are unavailing.
