Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Mufeed Kaled Banna, a native and citizen of Israel, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the BIA's "good moral character" determination, Ramos v. INS, 246 F.3d 1264, 1266 (9th Cir.2001), and we deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the BIA's determination that Banna provided false testimony for the purpose of obtaining an immigration benefit and, therefore, that he lacks the good moral character required for cancellation of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f)(6); Ramos, 246 F.3d at 1266; see also Bernal v. INS, 154 F.3d 1020, 1023 (9th Cir.1998) ("An applicant's false oral statements made under oath in a question- and-answer statement before an INS officer in connection with any stage of the processing of a visa constitute false testimony within the meaning of 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f)(6).").
The record does not support Banna's remaining contentions.
PETITION DENIED.
