               Respondent.

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

                             Submitted August 1, 2013 **

Before:        GRABER, WARDLAW, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.

       Geronimo Del Muro-Sanchez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for

review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal

lawful permanent resident under 8 U.S.C. § 1259. We have jurisdiction under 8

U.S.C. § 1252. We deny the petition for review.

      Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s adverse credibility finding. See

Singh v. Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 1139, 1143-44 (9th Cir. 2004).

      Substantial evidence also supports the BIA’s finding that Petitioner failed to

establish that he resided continuously in the United States after entering prior to

January 1, 1972. See Manzo-Fontes v. INS, 53 F.3d 280, 282 (9th Cir. 1995) (court

generally reviews for substantial evidence agency’s determination regarding

statutory ineligibility). Therefore, the BIA’s conclusion that he was statutorily

ineligible for registry as a lawful permanent resident under 8 U.S.C. § 1259 was

correct.

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
