                      On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                          Board of Immigration Appeals

                             Submitted October 25, 2016**

Before:        LEAVY, SILVERMAN, and GRABER, Circuit Judges.

      Martin Rojas-Refujio, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for

review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an

physical presence determination. Lopez-Alvarado v. Ashcroft, 381 F.3d 847, 850-

51 (9th Cir. 2004). We deny the petition for review.

      Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Rojas-Refujio

failed to establish the requisite continuous physical presence, where Rojas-Refujio

testified that he remained outside the United States for a period of more than 180

days in the aggregate during the statutory period. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(A),

(d)(2) (a departure in excess of 180 days in the aggregate breaks continuous

physical presence).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
