PER CURIAM.
Isidro Silerio-Nunez, a native of Mexico, petitions for review of a July 2008
order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), which affirmed an Immigration
Judge’s (IJ’s) decision finding petitioner removable for being inadmissible at the time
of his reentry into the United States. We deny the petition.
In November 2000, an IJ found that petitioner, a lawful permanent resident
(LPR), was removable based on his commission of an aggravated felony. Pursuant

to the IJ’s final order, which rescinded petitioner’s LPR status, petitioner was removed
to Mexico. Less than two weeks later, petitioner returned to the United States
presenting his LPR identification card to immigration authorities to gain admission.
We conclude that substantial evidence supports the BIA’s decision. See 8 U.S.C. §
1182(a)(6)(C)(i) (inadmissibility based on fraud or willful misrepresentation of
material fact to gain admission), § 1182(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) (inadmissibility for failure to
have valid immigration document), § 1256(a) (IJ’s order of removal rescinds alien’s
status); Escudero-Corona v. INS, 244 F.3d 608, 612 (8th Cir. 2001) (standard of
review). Petitioner’s challenge to his 2000 removal order is foreclosed by
Silerio-Nunez v. Holder, 356 Fed. Appx. 151 (10th Cir. 2009) (unpublished order).
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review.
