Castillo-Cruz v. Holder, 581 F.3d 1154, 1158-59 (9th Cir. 2009), and we deny the
petition for review.
Ramirez Lopez’s contention that his conviction for violating Cal. Penal
Code § 273.5(a) is not a crime of domestic violence under 8 U.S.C.
§ 1227(a)(2)(E)(i) because the statute of conviction encompasses minor injuries is
foreclosed by Banuelos-Ayon v. Holder, 611 F.3d 1080, 1086 (9th Cir. 2010).
Ramirez Lopez is therefore statutorily ineligible for cancellation of removal.
8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
