Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Juan Ruiz Toledo, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law and constitutional claims, Khan v. Holder, 584 F.3d 773, 776 (9th Cir.2009), and we deny the petition for review.
Ruiz Toledo does not challenge the agency's determination that he is removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) based on his 1994 conviction for lewd dr lascivious acts with a child under 14 years of age in violation of California Penal Code § 288(a).
The agency determined that Ruiz Toledo is ineligible for relief under former section 212(c), 8 U.S.C. § 1182(c) (repealed 1996), because his ground of removability lacks a statutory counterpart in a ground of inadmissibility. See 8 C.F.R. § 1212.3(f)(5). Ruiz Toledo's legal and constitutional challenges to this determination are unavailing. See Abebe v. Mulcasey, 554 F.3d 1203, 1207, 1208 n. 7 (9th Cir.2009) (en banc).
Ruiz Toledo's remaining contentions are not persuasive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
