Ada Perez-Melendez v. Eric Holder, Jr.

MEMORANDUM

Ada Cristina Perez-Melendez, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision pretermitting her application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . Reviewing for substantial evidence the agency’s findings of fact, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir.2005), we deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that Perez-Melendez was statutorily barred from establishing good moral character under 8 U.S.C. § 1101 (f)(1), and therefore ineligible for cancellation of removal, based on Perez-Melendez’s testimony that she had a drinking problem, had three convictions for driving under the influence that occurred while she was in removal proceedings, and had been mandated by the state to attend a rehabilita tion program. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(B).

In light of our disposition, we need not address Perez-Melendez’s remaining contentions.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
