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

                          Submitted December 18, 2017**


Before:      WALLACE, SILVERMAN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

      Ismael Ruiz-Solis, 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 cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under

8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s determinations

of credibility and continuous physical presence. Singh v. Holder, 643 F.3d 1178,

1180 (9th Cir. 2011); Ibarra-Flores v. Gonzales, 439 F.3d 614, 618 (9th Cir.

2006). We deny the petition for review.

      Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility

determination. See Singh, 643 F.3d at 1180 (court must uphold agency’s credibility

finding unless evidence compels a contrary result). Absent credible testimony or

other evidence to the contrary, the agency properly relied on the signed Form I-

826, Notice of Rights and Request for Disposition, as evidence that Ruiz-Solis’s

acceptance of voluntary departure in 2009 was knowing and voluntary. See

Espinoza v. INS, 45 F.3d 308, 310 (9th Cir. 1995) (“information on an

authenticated immigration form is presumed to be reliable in the absence of

evidence to the contrary presented by the alien”).

      Accordingly, substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding that Ruiz-

Solis did not establish the required continuous physical presence and was therefore

ineligible for cancellation of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(A); Ibarra-

Flores, 439 F.3d at 618 (voluntary departure interrupts physical presence).

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
