1997 (“NACARA”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing de
novo questions of law, Cerezo v. Mukasey, 512 F.3d 1163, 1166 (9th Cir. 2008),
we deny the petition for review.
Rivera-Rivera’s contention is foreclosed by Barrios v. Holder, 581 F.3d 849,
858 (9th Cir. 2009) (holding that a minor who seeks relief as a derivative under
NACARA must personally satisfy the seven-year continuous physical presence
requirement).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
