jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law.
Cazarez-Gutierrez v. Ashcroft, 382 F.3d 905, 909 (9th Cir. 2004). We deny the
petition for review.
Lopez-Ruiz’s contention that his conviction under Cal. Health & Safety
Code § 11358 is not an aggravated felony is foreclosed by United States v.
Reveles-Espinoza, 522 F.3d 1044, 1047-48 (9th Cir. 2008). The agency properly
concluded that Lopez-Ruiz was not eligible for cancellation of removal. 8 U.S.C.
§ 1229b(a)(3).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
