PER CURIAM.
Mexican citizen Eugenio Sanchez Bernal petitions for review of an order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), which affirmed an immigration judge’s denial
of his application for cancellation of removal. We conclude that substantial evidence
supports the BIA’s determination that Bernal did not meet his burden of
demonstrating he was continuously physically present in the United States for ten
years before he was served with a notice to appear. See Sanchez-Velasco v. Holder,
593 F.3d 733, 735-36 (8th Cir. 2010) (standards of review); Acevedo-Aguilar v.
Mukasey, 517 F.3d 8, 10 (1st Cir. 2008) (holding substantial evidence supported
denial of cancellation of removal where alien’s testimony was inconsistent with other

-- 1 of 2 --

evidence in record regarding relevant dates). Accordingly, we deny the petition. See
8th Cir. R. 47B.
