Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Jesus Baltazar Ramirez-Leon, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for adjustment of status. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Vasquez-Zavala v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 1105, 1107 (9th Cir.2003), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA properly denied Ramirez-Leon’s application for relief because he failed to depart within the voluntary departure period after receiving adequate notice of the penalties for failure to do so. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229c(d)(l)(B) (failure to depart voluntarily within the time period results in a ten-year bar to certain forms of relief, including adjustment of status); De Martinez v. Ashcroft, 374 F.3d 759, 762 (9th Cir.2004) (BIA’s written notice of the penalties for failure to depart is adequate under 8 U.S.C. § 1229c(d)).

Ramirez-Leon’s remaining contentions are not persuasive.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
