status. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo
questions of law, Vasquez-Zavala v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 1105, 1107 (9th Cir. 2003),
and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA properly denied Ramirez-Leon’s application for relief because he
failed to depart within the voluntary departure period after receiving adequate
notice of the penalties for failure to do so. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229c(d)(1)(B) (failure
to depart voluntarily within the time period results in a ten-year bar to certain
forms of relief, including adjustment of status); De Martinez v. Ashcroft, 374 F.3d
759, 762 (9th Cir. 2004) (BIA’s written notice of the penalties for failure to depart
is adequate under 8 U.S.C. § 1229c(d)).
Ramirez-Leon’s remaining contentions are not persuasive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
