 The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. *See*Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

MEMORANDUM **

Jose Rodriguez-Rodriguez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny the petition for review.

Rodriguez-Rodriguez has waived any challenge to the agency’s hardship determination. *See Rizk v. Holder,*629 F.3d 1083, 1091 n.3 (9th Cir. 2011) (issues not, raised in an opening brief are waived).

Because the agency’s hardship determination is dispositive, we do not reach Rodriguez-Rodriguez’s contentions regarding the agency’s continuous physical presence and related credibility determinations. *See Camacho-Cruz v. Holder,*621 F.3d 941, 942 (9th Cir. 2010) (failure to satisfy any one of the four requirements in 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1) is fatal to a cancellation application); *Simeonov v. Ashcroft,*371 F.3d 532, 538 (9th Cir. 2004) (courts and agencies are not required to decide issues unnecessary to the results they reach),

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.

_______________________________________________________________________

                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                              June 5, 1998

      Received and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations

_______________________________________________________________________

                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Whereas 9 years ago on June 4, 1989, thousands of Chinese students peacefully 
        gathered in Tiananmen Square to demonstrate their support for freedom 
        and democracy;
Whereas it was with horror that the world witnessed the response of the 
        Government of the People's Republic of China as tanks and military units 
        marched into Tiananmen Square;
Whereas Chinese soldiers of the People's Republic of China were ordered to fire 
        machine guns and tanks on young, unarmed civilians;
Whereas ``children were killed holding hands with their mothers'', according to 
        a reliable eyewitness account;
Whereas according to the same eyewitness account, ``students were crushed by 
        armored personnel carriers'';
Whereas more than 2,000 Chinese pro-democracy demonstrators died that day, 
        according to the Chinese Red Cross;
Whereas hundreds continue to languish in prisons because of their belief in 
        freedom and democracy;
Whereas 9 years after the massacre on June 4, 1989, the Government of the 
        People's Republic of China has yet to acknowledge the Tiananmen Square 
        massacre; and
Whereas, being formally received in Tiananmen Square, the President would bestow 
        legitimacy on the Chinese Government's horrendous actions of 9 years 
        ago: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that the President should 
reconsider his decision to be formally received in Tiananmen Square 
until the Government of the People's Republic of China acknowledges the 
Tiananmen Square massacre, pledges that such atrocities will never 
happen again, and releases those Chinese students still imprisoned for 
supporting freedom and democracy that day.

            Passed the House of Representatives June 4, 1998.

            Attest:

                                                ROBIN H. CARLE,

                                                                 Clerk.

Jesus Antonio Diaz-Flores, Pro Se

Before: REINHARDT, TROTT, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.

*

 The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. *See*Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

MEMORANDUM **

Jesus Antonio Diaz-Flores appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 120-month sentence for possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A)(i). Pursuant to *Anders v. California,*386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Diaz-Flores’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Diaz-Flores the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

Diaz-Flores waived his right to appeal his conviction and sentence. Our independent review of the record pursuant to *Penson v. Ohio,*488 U.S. 76, 80, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the waiver. *See United States v. Watson,*582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir. 2009). We accordingly dismiss the appeal. *See id.*at 988.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

DISMISSED.

Before: WALLACE, SILVERMAN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

*

 The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. *See*Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

MEMORANDUM **

Joshua David Fink appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges the concurrent 63-month sentences imposed following his guilty-plea convictions for being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), and possession of an unregistered firearm, in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 6861(d). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Fink contends that the district court procedurally erred by failing to provide an adequate explanation for its rejection of Fink’s argument that his criminal history category overrepresented the seriousness of his criminal history. Because Fink raises this contention for the first time on appeal, we review for plain error. *See United States v. Valencia-Barragan,*608 F.3d 1103, 1108 (9th Cir. 2010). The district court expressly discussed Fink’s argument regarding his criminal history category and ultimately, determined that a downward variance was not warranted be*492cause the circumstances of Fink’s crimes of conviction demonstrated that he posed a danger to the public. The record as a whole reflects the basis for the district court’s determination, and the district 'court did not plainly err in its explanation. *See United States v. Carty,*520 F.3d 984, 992 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc) (“[A]dequate explanation in some cases may also be inferred from the PSR or the record as a whole.”).

AFFIRMED.
