ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,

               Respondent.



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

                             Submitted September 13, 2010 **

Before:        SILVERMAN, CALLAHAN, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

       Horacio Renteria-Nambo, 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.

We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence


          *
             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
          **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
the agency’s continuous physical presence determination, Canales-Vargas v.

Gonzales, 441 F.3d 739, 742 (9th Cir. 2006), and we deny the petition for review.

      The record does not compel the conclusion that Renteria-Nambo met his

burden of establishing continuous physical presence from May 1996 to May 2006.

See Singh-Kaur v. INS, 183 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir. 1999) (a contrary result is

not compelled where there is “[t]he possibility of drawing two inconsistent

conclusions from the evidence”) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
