Valadez-Munoz v. Holder, 623 F.3d 1304, 1308 (9th Cir. 2010). We deny the
petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Salazar
Rodriguez is inadmissible under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(C)(ii) because he made a
false claim of United States citizenship to gain entry to the United States. See
Valadez-Munoz, 623 F.3d at 1308-09 (record did not compel reversal of agency’s
determination that petitioner made a false claim of citizenship where he presented
border officials with a Texas birth certificate and a California driver license under
a different identity in his attempt to enter the United States). Thus, we deny the
petition for review.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
