MEMORANDUM *
Petitioner Rosas Robles seeks review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA or Board) summary affirmance without opinion (AWO) of an immigration judge’s (IJ) ruling pretermitting her application for relief under former Immigration & Naturalization Act (INA) § 212(c), previously codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1182 (c) (1994), and ordering her removed from the United States on the basis of her conviction for an aggravated felony. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.1 (a)(7) (establishing AWO procedure); INA § 237(a)(2)(A), (B), 8 U.S.C. § 1227 (a)(2)(A), (B) (2003) (providing for removal of persons convicted of aggravated felonies).
