 ERIC H. HOLDER Jr., Attorney General,

               Respondent.

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

                             Submitted November 17, 2009 **

Before:        ALARCÓN, TROTT, and TASHIMA, Circuit Judges.

        Fernando Medina-Larios, 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.

            The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without
oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

JTK/Research
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.

       Medina-Larios’ contention that his convictions do not render him ineligible

for cancellation of removal because they occurred over ten years prior to his

application is foreclosed by Flores-Juarez v. Mukasey, 530 F.3d 1020, 1022 (9th

Cir. 2008) (“[Section] 1229b(b)(1)(C) . . . does not place any temporal limitation

on when the crime was committed.”).

       PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
