U.S.C. § 1252. We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s adverse credibility finding. See
Singh v. Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 1139, 1143-44 (9th Cir. 2004).
Substantial evidence also supports the BIA’s finding that Petitioner failed to
establish that he resided continuously in the United States after entering prior to
January 1, 1972. See Manzo-Fontes v. INS, 53 F.3d 280, 282 (9th Cir. 1995) (court
generally reviews for substantial evidence agency’s determination regarding
statutory ineligibility). Therefore, the BIA’s conclusion that he was statutorily
ineligible for registry as a lawful permanent resident under 8 U.S.C. § 1259 was
correct.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
