Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Eloy Arsenio Sosa-Garcia, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order summarily affirming an immigration judge's removal order. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Altamirano v. Gonzales, 427 F.3d 586, 591 (9th Cir.2005), and we deny the petition for review.
Sosa-Garcia does not challenge that he was convicted of a crime of domestic violence, rendering him removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(E)®. Sosa-Garcia's contention that the petty offense exception found in 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(2)(A)(ii)(II) is applicable to the ground of removability in 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(E)® is without merit. We need not reach his challenges to the agency's two alternative grounds for removability.
Sosa-Garcia's remaining contentions are not persuasive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
