evidence the agency’s findings of fact, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791
(9th Cir. 2005), we deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that Perez-Melendez was
statutorily barred from establishing good moral character under 8 U.S.C.
§ 1101(f)(1), and therefore ineligible for cancellation of removal, based on Perez-
Melendez’s testimony that she had a drinking problem, had three convictions for
driving under the influence that occurred while she was in removal proceedings,
and had been mandated by the state to attend a rehabilitation program. See 8
U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(B).
In light of our disposition, we need not address Perez-Melendez’s remaining
contentions.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
