§ 1252. We review de novo questions of law and constitutional claims, Khan v.
Holder, 584 F.3d 773, 776 (9th Cir. 2009), and we deny the petition for review.
Mendez Camarillo does not challenge the agency’s determination that he is
removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) based on his 1992 conviction for
“continuous sexual abuse of a child” in violation of California Penal Code § 288.5.
The BIA determined that Mendez Camarillo is ineligible for relief under
former section 212(c), 8 U.S.C. § 1182(c) (repealed 1996), because his ground of
removability lacks a statutory counterpart in a ground of inadmissibility. See 8
C.F.R. § 1212.3(f)(5). Mendez Camarillo’s equal protection challenge to this
determination is unavailing. See Abebe v. Mukasey, 554 F.3d 1203, 1207 (9th Cir.
2009) (en banc).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
