On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. Agency No. A042-105-349.
Before: SCHROEDER, PREGERSON, and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Yuan Fu Sun, a native and citizen of Taiwan, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's removal order. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency's factual findings. Khodagholian v. Ashcroft, 335 F.3d 1003, 1006 (9th Cir. 2003). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency's determination that Sun abandoned his lawful permanent resident status because the record does not compel the conclusion that he harbored a continuous, uninterrupted intention to return to the United States during the entirety of his 15-year absence. Id. at 1007.
