MEMORANDUM

Gilberto Acosta-Olivarria, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review de novo claims of constitutional violations and questions of law, Khan v.

See Garfias-Rodri-guez v. Holder, No. 09-72603, 702 F.3d 504 , 2012 WL 5077137, at *7 (9th Cir. Oct.19, 2012) (en banc) (aliens who are inadmissible under 8 U.S.C. § 1182 (a)(9)(C)(i)(I) are not eligible for adjustment of status under 8 U.S.C. § 1255 (i)).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
