the agency’s factual determinations. Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th
Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that Garibo-Sosa
engaged in affirmative acts in support of alien smuggling, which statutorily barred
him from establishing good moral character in order to qualify for cancellation of
removal. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1101(f)(3), 1182(a)(6)(E)(i), 1229b(b)(1)(B); Urzua
Covarrubias v. Gonzales, 487 F.3d 742, 748 (9th Cir. 2007) (an individual “may
knowingly encourage, induce, assist, abet, or aid with illegal entry, even if he did
not personally hire the smuggler and even if he is not present at the point of illegal
entry” (citation and quotation marks omitted)).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
