Dahilig v. Holder
Dahilig v. Holder
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Eduardo Jr. Pagdilao Dahilig, a native and citizen of the Philippines, petitions pro
The BIA did not err in finding Dahilig removable as an aggravated felon under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) because his conviction under California Penal Code § 211 for robbery categorically constitutes a crime, of violence under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(F) and Dahilig was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of at least one year for his crime. See U.S. v. McDougherty, 920 F.2d 569, 573 (9th Cir. 1990) (“[Rjobbery under California law is ... by definition a crime of violence.”).
We do not have authority to order that Dahilig be released from detention. See 8 U.S.C. § 1226(e).
Dahilig’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
