   MEMORANDUM

Martin Ramirez Lopez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s order denying his application for cancellation of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review questions of law de novo, Castillo-Cruz v. Holder, 581 F.3d 1154, 1158-59 (9th Cir.2009), and we deny the petition for review.

Ramirez Lopez’s contention that his conviction for violating CaLPenal Code § 273.5(a) is not a crime of domestic violence under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(E)(i) because the statute of conviction encompasses minor injuries is foreclosed by Banuelos-Ayon v. Holder, 611 F.3d 1080, 1086 (9th Cir.2010). Ramirez Lopez is therefore statutorily ineligible for cancellation of removal. 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
