Opinion
Lead Opinion
ORDER AND MEMORANDUM **
Maddela petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) decision concluding that Maddela is deportable as an aggravated felon based on his conviction for burglary in the second degree in violation of California Penal Code (CPC) § 459. We deny Maddela’s motion to supplement the record. We dismiss Maddela’s petition for review for lack of jurisdiction.
Maddela’s deportation proceedings commenced March 13, 1997, and are governed by the transitional rules of the Illegal Im *126 migration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), Pub.L. No. 104-208, 110 Stat. 3009 (Sept. 30, 1996). 1 The transitional rules of IIRIRA generally preclude judicial review for aliens convicted of aggravated felonies. See IIRIRA, § 309(c)(4)(G) (stating that “there shall be no appeal permitted in the case of an alien who is inadmissible or deportable by reason of having committed” an aggravated felony).
