Barrington Berton Morgan-White petitions this court for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing his appeal and affirming the immigration judge’s order that Morgan-White is ineligible for cancellation of removal pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(a) because he committed an aggravated felony. In August 2007, Morgan-White was convicted for possession of less than one gram of cocaine in violation of Texas law. Though Morgan-White was convicted in 2006 for attempted possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor, he was not prosecuted under the Texas recidivist statute. 1

Morgan-White contends the Board improperly characterized his 2007 Texas *701 conviction for cocaine possession as an aggravated felony punishable under the Controlled Substances Act 2 because he was neither prosecuted nor convicted under a relevant federal or state recidivist offender statute. He argues the Board should not have followed the hypothetical approach used by this court in United States v. Sanchez-Villalobos 3 because that case is inconsistent with prior precedent of this court. Morgan-White also argues that the Board’s analysis in In re Cara-clmri-Rosendo 4 is entitled to some deference and that the rule of lenity should be applied in favor of Morgan-White. Morgan-White’s arguments are foreclosed by our decision in Carachuri-Rosendo v. Holder 5 and accordingly, Morgan-White’s petition for review is DENIED.
