Larroulet

*507 MEMORANDUM *

Although we lack jurisdiction to review a final order of removal against an alien who is removable for having committed an aggravated felony, 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (a)(2)(C), we retain jurisdiction to determine whether the jurisdictional bar applies, Randhawa v. Ashcroft, 298 F.3d 1148, 1152 (9th Cir.2002). We review de novo the threshold issue whether a particular offense constitutes an aggravated felony. Park v. INS, 252 F.3d 1018, 1021 (9th Cir.2001).

Larroulet’s conviction for sexual battery does not meet the generic definition of sexual abuse of a minor because the statute of conviction does not include the age of the victim as an element of the offense. See CahPenal Code § 243.4(a); Lara-Chacon v. Ashcroft, 345 F.3d 1148, 1151-53 (9th Cir.2003).

Moreover, although Larroulet stipulated to the facts set forth in the police report as part of his plea of no contest, the Board erred in considering the victim’s age. Larroulet stipulated to only those facts necessary to support his conviction for sexual battery. Age of the victim is not an element of that offense. See Cah.Penal Code § 243.4(a); People v. West, 3 Cal.3d 595 , 91 CaL.Rptr. 385, 477 P.2d 409, 420 (1970)…
