08-74126 2
American Relief Act of 1997 (“NACARA”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Khan v. Holder, 584 F.3d 773, 776
(9th Cir. 2009), and we deny the petition for review.
Rivera-Rivera’s contention is foreclosed by Barrios v. Holder, 581 F.3d 849,
858-59 (9th Cir. 2009) (a minor who seeks relief as a derivative under NACARA
must personally satisfy the seven-year continuous physical presence requirement).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
