1Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM *

Petitioner Leobardo Flores-Montano (“Flores-Montano”) petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) dismissal of his appeal of an Immigration Judge’s (IJ) decision denying him adjustment of status and cancellation of removal. The BIA found that the IJ properly pre-termitted the application because Flores-Montano was statutorily ineligible for relief under the Federal First Offender Act (FFOA), 18 U.S.C. § 3607, due to his 2004 conviction for possession of a controlled substance in "violation of California Health and Safety Code § 11350(a).
