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.
Navarro does not challenge the agency’s determination that he is removable
under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) based on his conviction for assault with a
deadly weapon in violation of Cal. Penal Code § 245(a)(1).
Navarro 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§ 1182(c) (repealed 1996), because his ground of removability lacks a statutory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); see also
Aguilar-Ramos v. Holder, 594 F.3d 701, 706 (9th Cir. 2010).
Navarro’s equal protection challenge to the agency’s denial of section 212(c)
relief is foreclosed by Abebe v. Mukasey, 554 F.3d 1203, 1207 (9th Cir. 2009) (en
banc).
Navarro’s remaining contention is unpersuasive.
Navarro’s pending motion is denied as moot.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
