Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Everth Osvaldo-Martinez, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's decision denying special rule cancellation of removal under the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act ("NACARA"). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency's factual findings, and we review de novo questions of law. Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.
The agency did not err in determining that Osvaldo-Martinez was statutorily barred from establishing the good moral character required for special rule cancellation under NACARA, where substantial evidence supports the agency's finding that he provided false testimony about the details of the incident leading to his 2005 arrest in order to obtain immigration benefits. See 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f)(6); 8 C.F.R. § 1240.66(b)(3); Ramos v. INS, 246 F.3d 1264, 1266 (9th Cir. 2001) ("For a witness's false testimony to preclude a finding of good moral character, the testimony must have been made orally and under oath, and the witness must have had a subjective intent to deceive for the purpose of obtaining immigration benefits.").
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
