and related relief. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de

deny the petition for review.
We do not consider Cano-Perez’s contentions that the agency applied the
incorrect statutory definition to determine his Nevada conviction for forgery is an
aggravated felony or that it erred in making an adverse credibility determination,
where the agency did not find him removable for having an aggravated felony
conviction, deny relief on that basis, or make an adverse credibility finding. See
Najmabadi v. Holder, 597 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 2010) (the court’s review is
limited to the actual grounds relied upon by the BIA). We also do not consider
Cano-Perez’s contention that the IJ erred in considering factors for cancellation of
removal for certain non-permanent residents under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b), where the
BIA considered only the factors for cancellation of removal for permanent
residents under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(a). See id. at 986.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
