Tabbal v. Holder
Opinion
Petition dismissed in part and denied in part by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Raffie Tabbal, a native and citizen of Gambia, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying relief on his applications for relief from removal. We have reviewed the administrative record and Tabbal’s claims and conclude that Tabbal has been convicted of both aggravated felonies and controlled substance offenses. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii), (B)(1) (2006). We therefore find that we are without jurisdiction over the petition for review. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(C) (2006). Tabbal raises one question of law over which we retain jurisdiction, consisting of a challenge to the Board’s finding below that he has been convicted of a particularly serious crime, which renders him ineligible for withholding of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D) (2006). Our review discloses that Tabbal’s challenge to the Board’s finding is without merit. See 8 U.S.C. § 1231(b)(3)(B) (2006).
Accordingly, we dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
