Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Edgar Eduardo Belmontes-Andrade, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's final order of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo claims of equal protection violations, Sandoval-Luna v. Mukasey, 526 F.3d 1243, 1246 (9th Cir.2008), and we deny the petition for review.
Belmontes-Andrade's equal protection argument is foreclosed by Runnett v. Shultz, 901 F.2d 782, 787 (9th Cir.1990).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
