Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Bertoldo Escobar Reyna, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's ("LJ") decision denying his motion to suppress evidence and terminate removal proceedings, and-ordering him removed. We haye jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo the denial of a motion to suppress, and claims of constitutional violations., Martinez-Medina v. Holder, 673 F.3d 1029, 1033 (9th Cir. 2011). We deny the petition for review.
The agency did not err in denying Reyna's motion to suppress evidence and terminate proceedings, because Samayoa-Martinez v. Holder, 558 F.3d 897, 901-02 (9th Cir. 2009), forecloses his contention that his statements to immigration officials at the border were obtained in violation of 8 C.F.R. § 287.3(c). Réyna urges us to reconsider our holding in Samayoa-Mar-tinez, but a three-judge panel cannot overrule circuit precedent in the absence of an intervening decision from a higher court or en banc decision of this court. See Avar gyan v. Holder, 646 F.3d 672, 677 (9th Cir. 2011). We also reject Reyna's contention that de Rodriguez-Echeverria v. Mukasey, 534 F.3d 1047 (9th Cir. 2008) controls the result of his case.
The agency also did not err by admitting the government's evidence, where the documents submitted were probative, their admission was fundamentally fair, and Reyna failed to establish that they were inaccurate or obtained by coercion. See Espinoza v. INS, 45 F.3d 308, 310 (9th Cir. 1995) ("The burden of establishing a basis for exclusion of evidence from a government record falls on the opponent of the evidence, who must come forward with enough negative factors to persuade the court not to admit it.")

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
