ORDER **
Jaw-Shi Wang appeals from the denial of his petition for habeas relief. The sole ground for appeal is his contention that INA § 212(h) violates equal protection in its disparate treatment of lawful permanent residents (LPRs). We rejected this very argument in Taniguchi v. Schultz, 303 F.3d 950, 958 (9th Cir.2002) (“[Appellant’s] equal protection claim fails because the INS has advanced a rational explanation for the difference in treatment between LPR and non-LPR aggravated felons.”).
AFFIRMED.
