the agency’s continuous physical presence determination, Canales-Vargas v.
Gonzales, 441 F.3d 739, 742 (9th Cir. 2006), and we deny the petition for review.
The record does not compel the conclusion that Lara met his burden of
establishing continuous physical presence where he failed to provide sufficient
evidence supporting his presence from March 1995 to March 2005. See Singh-
Kaur v. INS, 183 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir. 1999) (a contrary result is not
compelled where there is “[t]he possibility of drawing two inconsistent conclusions
from the evidence”) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
