Lorenzo Magana v. Eric Holder, Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Lorenzo Magana, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Cazarez-Gutierrez v. Ashcroft, 382 F.3d 905, 909 (9th Cir. 2004), and we deny the petition for review.

Magana’s conviction for receipt of stolen property in violation of Cal.Penal Code § 496(a) is an aggravated felony under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(G). See Verdugo-Gonzalez v. Holder, 581 F.3d 1059, 1060-61 (9th Cir. 2009).

We disagree with Magana’s contention that his conviction records do not constitute admissible evidence. See SinotesCruz v. Gonzales, 468 F.3d 1190, 1196-97 (9th Cir. 2006) (holding that “[t]he guiding principle is that proper authentication requires some sort of proof that the document is what it purports to be”).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
