Leonel Mina-Rios v. Eric Holder, Jr.

MEMORANDUM

Leonel Mina-Rios, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s order of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review de novo questions of law, Castillo-Cruz v. Holder, 581 F.3d 1154, 1158-59 (9th Cir.2009), and we deny the petition for review.

The agency properly determined that Mina-Rios is removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227 (a)(2)(C) based on his 2006 conviction for violating California Penal Code § 12025(a)(2). See Gil v. Holder, 651 F.3d 1000, 1005 , 2011 WL 2464782, at *3 (9th Cir.2011) (“[U]nder the categorical approach, a conviction under California Penal Code § 12025(a) constitutes a firearms offense under 8 U.S.C. § 1227 (a)(2)(C).”)

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
