   MEMORANDUM

Beatriz Cynthia Ramirez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ determination that she is statutorily ineligible for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. On de novo review, we deny the petition. Latter-Singh v. Holder, 668 F.3d 1156, 1159 (9th Cir.2012)

Ramirez was convicted of grand theft under California Penal Code Section 487 and petty theft with priors under Sections 484 and 666. Convictions under California’s theft statute, whether petty or grand, are categorically crimes involving moral turpitude. Castillo-Cruz v. Holder, 581 F.3d 1154, 1160 (9th Cir.2009); United States v. Esparza-Ponce, 193 F.3d 1133, 1136-37 (9th Cir.1999).

Ramirez’s multiple convictions for crimes involving moral turpitude render her ineligible for cancellation of removal under 8 U.S.C. §§ 1182(a)(2)(A)(i)(I) and 1229b(b)(l)(C). She is also ineligible for special rule cancellation of removal under the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act because her convictions preclude her from establishing her good moral character for “10 years immediately following the commission of an act ... constituting a ground for removal.” 8 C.F.R. § 1240.66(c)(2)-(3).

DENIED.
