MEMORANDUM

Estela Perez Vazquez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying her application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Gomez-Lopez v. Ashcroft, 393 F.3d 882, 884 (9th Cir.2005). We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Ramos v. INS, 246 F.3d 1264, 1266 (9th Cir.2001). We deny the petition for review.

The agency appropriately placed the burden on Perez Vazquez to establish eligibility for relief from removal, and substantial evidence supports the BIA’s conclusion that Perez Vazquez failed to meet her burden to establish eligibility for cancellation of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(e)(4).

Perez Vazquez’s claim that the IJ prematurely terminated proceedings after she invoked her Fifth Anendment rights is not supported by the record.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
