               Respondent.

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

                             Submitted November 16, 2010 **

Before:        TASHIMA, BERZON, and CLIFTON, Circuit Judges.

       Oscar Gonzalez-Lopez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review

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

immigration judge’s decision denying his application for cancellation of removal.

law, Mielewczyk v. Holder, 575 F.3d 992, 994 (9th Cir. 2009), and we deny the

petition for review.

      The agency properly concluded that Gonzalez-Lopez is statutorily ineligible

for cancellation of removal because his conviction for violation of California Penal

Code § 273.5 is categorically a crime of domestic violence under 8 U.S.C.

§ 1227(a)(2)(E)(i). See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(C); Banuelos-Ayon v. Holder, 611

F.3d 1080, 1083 (9th Cir. 2010); see also 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(3)(B) (listing

permissible documents for proof of conviction).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
