Hyun Yoo v. Loretta E. Lynch

MEMORANDUM

Hyun Taek Yoo, a native and citizen of South Korea, 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.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Yoo failed to establish ' the requisite continuous physical presence, where Yoo’s application for cancellation of removal and testimony show that he departed the United States for a period of more than 90 days during the statutory period. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1229b(b)(l)(A), (d)(2) (a departure in excess of 90 days breaks continuous physical presence). Yoo’s contentions that the agency denied him a full and fair hearing and applied incorrect-legal standards are not supported by the record.

Accordingly, Yoo’s due process claims must fail. See Ibarra-Flores v.…
