Juarez

MEMORANDUM **

Victor Hugo Juarez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the *155 Board of Immigration Appeals’ summaryaffirmance without opinion of an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) removal order. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . Parrilla v. Gonzales, 414 F.3d 1038, 1040 (9th Cir.2005). Reviewing de novo, Altamirano v.

United States, 495 U.S. 575, 600 , 110 S.Ct. 2143 , 109 L.Ed.2d 607 (1990), see Tokatly v. Ashcroft, 371 F.3d 613, 624 (9th Cir.2004), we conclude that section 273.5(a) punishes conduct that “is likely to involve a ‘substantial risk’ of the use of ‘physical force’ within the meaning of [18 U.S.C.] § 16(b).” Lisbey v. Gonzales, 420 F.3d 930, 932 (9th Cir.2005); cf. United States v. Jimenez, 258 F.3d…
