Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Victor Alexander Lopez-Martinez, a native and citizen of Honduras, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's decision finding him removable and statutorily ineligible for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law. Coronado v. Holder, 759 F.3d 977, 982 (9th Cir.2014). We deny the petition for review.
The agency correctly concluded that Lopez-Martinez was ineligible for cancellation of removal based on his conviction for a crime of domestic violence under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(E)(i), where the record established that he had been convicted under California Penal Code § 273.5. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(C) (specifying classes of criminal convictions that preclude a grant of cancellation of removal); Carrillo v. Holder, 781 F.3d 1155, 1159 (9th Cir.2015) ("[California Penal Code] § 273.5 is categorically a crime of domestic violence within the meaning of 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(E)(i)"); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.41(d) (in addition to the conviction documents enumerated in the regulation, "[a]ny other evidence that reasonably indicates the existence of a criminal conviction may be admissible as evidence thereof'). Lopez-Martinez's contention that the conviction documents admitted as evidence did not establish his relationship to the victim is without merit because his conviction is categorically a crime of domestic violehce. See Carrillo, 781 F.3d at 1159.
In light of our disposition, we do not reach Lopez-Martinez's contention regarding the burden of proof where the record of conviction is inconclusive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
