removal. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Gomez-Lopez v.
Ashcroft, 393 F.3d 882, 884 (9th Cir. 2005). We review for substantial evidence
the agency’s factual findings. Ramos v. INS, 246 F.3d 1264, 1266 (9th Cir. 2001).
We deny the petition for review.
The agency appropriately placed the burden on Perez Vazquez to establish
eligibility for relief from removal, and substantial evidence supports the BIA’s
conclusion that Perez Vazquez failed to meet her burden to establish eligibility for
cancellation of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(4).
Perez Vazquez’s claim that the IJ prematurely terminated proceedings after
she invoked her Fifth Amendment rights is not supported by the record.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
