    Petitioner,
    v.                                              MEMORANDUM *
    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.
    Cesar Cuitlahuac Garcia Fuentes, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions
    for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from
    an immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction under 
    8 U.S.C. § 1252
    . We review de novo questions of law and constitutional claims, Khan v.
    *
    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).
    Holder, 
    584 F.3d 773
    , 776 (9th Cir. 2009), and for substantial evidence the
    agency’s factual determinations, Gutierrez v. Mukasey, 
    521 F.3d 1114
    , 1116 (9th
    Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for review.
    We agree with the agency’s determination that Garcia Fuentes failed to
    establish the requisite ten years of continuous physical presence for cancellation of
    removal, see 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(1)(A), (d)(1)(B), where a certified copy of the
    state sentencing and probation order established the fact of Garcia Fuentes’
    convictions, see 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(3)(B).
    Garcia Fuentes’ equal protection claim is not persuasive. See
    Sandoval-Luna v. Mukasey, 
    526 F.3d 1243
    , 1247 (9th Cir. 2008).
    Because the agency’s continuous physical presence determination is
    dispositive, we do not reach his remaining contentions.
    PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
