MEMORANDUM

Paulino Luis Martinez-Mena, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Latter-Singh v. Holder, 668 F.3d 1156, 1159 (9th Cir.2012), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA correctly determined that Martinez-Mena is statutorily ineligible for cancellation of removal because his conviction under California Penal Code § 422 is for a crime involving moral turpitude. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1182(a)(2)(A)(i)(I), 1229b(b)(1)(C); Latter-Singh, 668 F.3d at 1163 (a conviction under California Penal Code § 422 is categorically a crime involving moral turpitude).

Martinez-Mena’s remaining contentions are unavailing.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
