   MEMORANDUM

Francisco B oíanos and his family, natives and citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) orders denying their motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo constitutional claims in immigration proceedings. Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir. 2001). We deny the petition for review.

Petitioners’ only contention, that the “stop-time” provision, 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(d)(l), is unconstitutional, is foreclosed by Ram, 243 F.3d at 517-18 (observing that the statute does not authorize post-charge accumulation of time toward the physical presence requirement and rejecting equal protection and due process challenges to the “stop-time” rule). We are not persuaded by petitioners’ contention that INS v. St Cyr, 533 U.S. 289, 121 S.Ct. 2271, 150 L.Ed.2d 347 (2001), requires a different result. Cf. Jimenez-Angeles v. Ashcroft, 291 F.3d 594, 599-602 (9th Cir.2002).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
