Mitchelle Ramos v. Eric Holder, Jr.

447 F. App'x 772

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Mitchelle S. Ramos, a native and citizen of the Philippines, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) decision dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law. Padilla-Romero v. Holder, 611 F.3d 1011, 1012 (9th Cir.2010). We deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not err in concluding that Ramos’ conviction for unlawful driving and taking of a vehicle under California Vehicle Code § 10851(a) is an aggravated felony under 8 U.S.C. § 1011(a)(43)(G) that renders him removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii). Ramos’ contention that section 10851(a) is overbroad because it encompasses joyriding is unpersuasive. See Arteaga v. Mukasey, 511 F.3d 940, 947 (9th Cir.2007).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
