MILTON ORRETT COLE,

Petitioner,

v.

ERIC H. HOLDER, JR., Attorney General,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals.

Submitted: January 27, 2010 Decided: February 17, 2010

Before NIEMEYER, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Rion Latimore, LATIMORE ESQ., LLC, Cincinnati, Ohio, for Petitioner. Tony West, Assistant Attorney General, William C. Peachey, Assistant Director, Carol Federighi, Senior Litigation Counsel, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Milton Orrett Cole, a native and citizen of Jamaica,

has petitioned for review of an order of the Board of

Immigration Appeals affirming the Immigration Judge’s order of

removal. Cole contends that his conviction in Virginia of

possession of marijuana with intent to distribute does not

qualify as an aggravated felony and that he is thus not

removable from the United States. We have reviewed the

administrative record and Cole’s various contentions and uphold

the Board’s finding that Cole’s conviction is an aggravated

felony that establishes his removability. See

8 U.S.C. § 1101

(a)(43)(B) (2006);

21 U.S.C.A. § 841

(a)(1) (West Supp.

2009).

Accordingly, we deny 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.

PETITION DENIED
