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

Before:        GOODWIN, WALLACE, and CLIFTON, Circuit Judges.

jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law and due

process claims. Garcia de Rincon v. Dep’t Homeland Security, 539 F.3d 1133,

1136 (9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for review.

       Torres De Romo’s contention that the IJ erred in reinstating her removal

order without determining her eligibility for adjustment of status fails because she

was not eligible for an adjustment of status because she reentered the United States

without permission after being removed. See Gonzales v. Dep’t of Homeland

Security, 508 F.3d 1227, 1242 (9th Cir. 2007) (abrogating Perez-Gonzalez v.

Ashcroft, 379 F.3d 783 (9th Cir. 2004)).

       PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
