We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial
evidence the agency’s continuous physical presence determination. Lopez-
Alvarado v. Ashcroft, 381 F.3d 847, 850-51 (9th Cir. 2004). We deny the petition
for review.
The record does not compel the conclusion that Reynaga Reyes met her
burden to establish continuous physical presence where she failed to provide
sufficient evidence supporting her presence from 1987 to 1989. 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).
We do not consider Reynaga Reyes’s contention regarding hardship,
because her failure to establish continuous physical presence is dispositive. See 8
U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(A).
Reynaga Reyes’ remaining contentions are unavailing.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
