MEMORANDUM **

Arcelia Hernandez-Ramirez (“Petitioner”), a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”), which summarily affirmed an Immigration Judge’s (“U’s”) decision finding her inadmissible for alien smuggling.

Because the BIA issued its affirmance without written opinion, we review the underlying decision of the IJ. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.1 (a)(7) (2003); Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft, 350 F.3d 845, 849 (9th Cir.2003).
