JOSE JAIME MARTINEZ-TORIBIO, AKA Jose Martinez-Toribio, Petitioner, v. DANA BOENTE, Acting Attorney General, Respondent.
MEMORANDUM*
Jose Jaime Martinez-Toribio, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's (“IJ”) decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency's continuous physical presence determination. Gutierrez v. Mukasey, 521 F.3d 1114, 1116 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency's determination that Martinez-Toribio failed to establish the requisite continuous physical presence for cancellation of removal, where he presented inconsistent testimony with no corroboration regarding the length of his departure from the United States in 2004. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1229a(c)(4)(B)-(C), 1229b(b)(1)(A).
The record does not support Martinez-Toribio's contentions that the IJ failed to address or consider evidence, and that the IJ unfairly questioned his credibility.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
