Castillo-Cruz v. Holder, 581 F.3d 1154, 1158-59 (9th Cir. 2009), and we deny the
petition for review.
The agency properly concluded that Orea-Barbosa was statutorily ineligible
for cancellation of removal because his conviction constituted a crime of domestic
violence. Banuelos-Ayon v. Holder, 611 F.3d 1080, 1083 (9th Cir. 2010)
(conviction under California Penal Code § 273.5 categorically a crime of violence).
His remaining contentions are unavailing. See Vasquez-Hernandez v. Holder, 590
F.3d 1053, 1056-57 (9th Cir. 2010); see also Sanchez v. Holder, 560 F.3d 1028,
1032 (9th Cir. 2009) (“A statute giving the Attorney General discretion to grant
relief from inadmissibility does not give the Attorney General discretion to grant
relief from removal.”) (emphasis in original).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
