law. Mielewczyk v. Holder, 575 F.3d 992, 994 (9th Cir. 2009). We deny the

petition for review.

       Bueno de Miranda’s conviction for violating Cal. Health & Safety Code

§ 11352(a) renders him removable as charged under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(B)(i)

and ineligible for adjustment of status as an inadmissible alien under 8 U.S.C.

§ 1182(a)(2)(A)(i)(II). See Mielewczyk, 575 F.3d at 995-98.

       PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
