NOT FOR PUBLICATION


MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.


On Petition for Review of an Order of the

Board of Immigration Appeals

Before: McKEOWN, WARDLAW, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

Jose Luis Sanchez-Cortes, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law. Garcia v. Holder, 659 F.3d 1261, 1265-66 (9th Cir. 2011). We deny the petition for review.

The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Holder v. Martinez Gutierrez, 132 S. Ct. 2011 (2012), forecloses Sanchez-Cortes's sole contention regarding imputation of his period of continuous residence.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
