 v.

WILLIAM P. BARR, Attorney General,

                Respondent.

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

                               Submitted June 2, 2020**

Before:      LEAVY, PAEZ, and BENNETT, Circuit Judges.

      Luis Antonio Gonzalez-Flores, 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.

             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
      **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law.

Latter-Singh v. Holder, 668 F.3d 1156, 1159 (9th Cir. 2012). We deny the petition

for review.

      The agency did not err in concluding that Matter of Leal, 26 I. & N. Dec. 20

(BIA 2012), which held that a conviction for felony endangerment under Arizona

Revised Statutes § 13-1201 is categorically a crime involving moral turpitude,

applies retroactively. See Olivas-Motta v. Whitaker, 910 F.3d 1271, 1276-79 (9th

Cir. 2018) (concluding that Matter of Leal did not represent a change in the law

and therefore applies retroactively).

      We deny Gonzalez-Flores’s motion to terminate or remand where his

contention that the agency lacked jurisdiction is foreclosed by Karingithi v.

Whitaker, 913 F.3d 1158, 1160-62 (9th Cir. 2019) (notice to appear need not

include time and date of hearing to vest jurisdiction in the immigration court).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.

                                          2                                     16-70072
