Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Ramon Antonio Gonzalez-Garcia, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's denial of his application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency's continuous physical presence determination. Lopez-Alvarado v. Ashcroft, 381 F.3d 847, 851 (9th Cir.2004). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency's determination that Gonzalez-Garcia did not meet the requirement that he demonstrate ten years of continuous physical presence in the United States, where he testified on three separate occasions that he first entered the United States in 1998. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(A); cf. Lopez-Alvarado, 381 F.3d at 851-53 (finding that petitioners had met their burden where the detailed documentary and testimonial evidence presented by petitioners was consistent).
We reject Gonzalez-Garcia's contention that the BIA failed to consider his evidence of continuous presence and failed to provide a reasoned and persuasive explanation for its decision. See Ornelas-Chavez v. Gonzales, 458 F.3d 1052, 1058 (9th Cir.2006).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
