Bajala v. Holder

355 F. App'x 986

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Leopoldo Bajala, a native and citizen of the Philippines, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Altamirano v. Gonzales, 427 F.3d 586, 591 (9th Cir.2005), and we deny the petition for review.

Bajala’s contention that his conviction under California Health & Safety Code § 11358 is not an aggravated felony is foreclosed by United States v. Reveles-Espinoza, 522 F.3d 1044, 1047 (9th Cir.2008) (per curiam). Accordingly, the agency properly concluded that Bajala was not eligible for cancellation of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(a)(3).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
