MEMORANDUM ***

Rigoberto Chaides, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) summary affirmance of an Immigration Judge’s denial of his application for suspension of deportation. We have jurisdiction pursuant to former 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a), see Kalaw v. INS, 133 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir.1997), and deny the petition for review.

We find no merit in Chaides’ remaining contentions.

Pursuant to Elian v. Ashcroft, 370 F.3d 897 (9th Cir.2004) (order),…
