   MEMORANDUM

Ignacio Lopez-Ruiz, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s denial of his application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law. Cazarez-Gutier-rez v. Ashcroft, 382 F.3d 905, 909 (9th Cir.2004). We deny the petition for review.

Lopez-Ruiz’s contention that his conviction under Cal. Health & Safety Code § 11358 is not an aggravated felony is foreclosed by United States v. Reveles-Espinoza, 522 F.3d 1044, 1047-48 (9th Cir.2008). The agency properly concluded that Lopez-Ruiz was not eligible for cancellation of removal. 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(a)(3).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
