JULIO CESAR BARAHONA VALLECILLO v. JEFFERSON SESSIONS III (2017)

MEMORANDUM*

Julio Cesar Barahona-Vallecillo, a native and citizen of Honduras, 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 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 Barahona-Vallecillo 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 absences from the United States. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(4)(B) (petitioner bears the burden of showing eligibility); § 1229b(b)(1)(A) (ten years continuous physical presence required); § 1229b(d)(2) (continuous physical presence broken by departure of more than 90 days).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
