Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Ausencio Villamil-Ocampo, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's ("IJ") decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Fernandez-Ruiz v. Gonzales, 468 F.3d 1159, 1163 (9th Cir.2006). We review de novo questions of law. Id. We deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The IJ correctly concluded that Villam-il-Ocampo is ineligible for cancellation of removal because of his 1996 conviction for possession of cocaine under California Health & Safety Code § 11350(a). See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(C). Contrary to Vil-lamil-Ocampo's contention, he does not qualify for relief under the Federal First Offender Act ("FFOA"), 18 U.S.C. § 3607, because he previously received the state-law equivalent of FFOA relief with respect to his 1992 charge. See de Jesus Melendez v. Gonzales, 503 F.3d 1019, 1020 (9th Cir.2007) (alien may not avoid the immigration consequences of a drug conviction as a first offender when, as a result of a prior drug possession arrest, he was granted pretrial diversion under California law and was not required to plead guilty).
Villamil-Ocampo's due process contentions are unpersuasive.
We lack jurisdiction to review the agency's discretionary decision to deny voluntary departure. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229c(f); Ramadan v. Gonzales, 479 F.3d 646, 654 (9th Cir.2007) (per curiam) (stating that the REAL ID Act "does not restore jurisdiction over discretionary determinations").
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
