   MEMORANDUM

Francisco Mendez Camarillo, 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 and constitutional claims, Khan v. Holder, 584 F.3d 773, 776 (9th Cir.2009), and we deny the petition for review.

Mendez Camarillo does not challenge the agency’s determination that he is removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) based on his 1992 conviction for “continuous sexual abuse of a child” in violation of California Penal Code § 288.5.

The BIA determined that Mendez Ca-marillo is ineligible for relief under former section 212(c), 8 U.S.C. § 1182(c) (repealed 1996), because his ground of removability lacks a statutory counterpart in a ground of inadmissibility. See 8 C.F.R. § 1212.3(f)(5). Mendez Camarillo’s equal protection challenge to this determination is unavailing. See Abebe v. Mukasey, 554 F.3d 1203, 1207 (9th Cir.2009) (en banc).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
