PER CURIAM:
Cruz Carrasco-Chavez, a native and citizen of Mexico,
seeks review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
(Board) affirming the Immigration Judge’s (IJ) decision denying
relief from removal. Carrasco-Chavez asserts that the IJ erred
in pretermitting his application for cancellation of removal.
We have reviewed Carrasco-Chavez’s claims and the administrative
record and conclude that they are without merit. See Salem v.
Holder, 647 F.3d 111 (4th Cir. 2011), cert. denied, 132 S. Ct.
1000 (2012) (holding that where the relevant evidence of
conviction is “in equipoise,” a petitioner has not satisfied his
statutory burden to prove eligibility for relief from removal).
We accordingly deny the petition for review for the reasons
stated by the Board. See In re Carrasco-Chavez, (B.I.A. Aug.
23, 2012). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
PETITION DENIED
