voluntary departure. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de
novo questions of law and constitutional claims, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d
785, 791-92 (9th Cir. 2005), and we deny the petition for review.
Ramos-Perez’ contention that the agency erred and violated due process in
allegedly pretermitting or denying his application for cancellation of removal is
without merit. The record establishes that Ramos-Perez failed to apply for
cancellation of removal and conceded through counsel that he was ineligible for
such relief due to his 2002 conviction under Cal. Penal Code § 273.5(a). See
Carrillo v. Holder, 781 F.3d 1155, 1157-60 (9th Cir. 2015) (Cal. Penal Code
§ 273.5(a) (2002) is categorically a crime of domestic violence under 8 U.S.C.
§ 1227(a)(2)(E)(i)); Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (to prevail on
a due process challenge, an alien must show error and prejudice).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
