CANO PEREZ v. BARR (2019)

MEMORANDUM **

Erik Cano-Perez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying cancellation of removal and asylum and related relief. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law. Bonilla v. Lynch, 840 F.3d 575, 581 (9th Cir. 2016). We deny the petition for review.

We do not consider Cano-Perez’s contentions that the agency applied the incorrect statutory definition to determine his Nevada conviction for forgery is an aggravated felony or that it erred in making an adverse credibility determination, where the agency did not find him removable for having an aggravated felony conviction, deny relief on that basis, or make an adverse credibility finding. See Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010) (the court’s review is limited to the actual grounds relied upon by the BIA). We also do not consider Cano-Perez’s contention that the IJ erred in considering factors for cancellation of removal for certain non-permanent residents under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b), where the BIA considered only the factors for cancellation of removal for permanent residents under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(a). See id. at 986.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
