Ramon Juarez-Rios v. Eric Holder, Jr.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Ramon Carlos Juarez-Rios, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from a decision of an immigration judge (“IJ”) denying Juarez-Rios’s motion to reopen. We review de novo questions of law. Pagayon v. Holder, 675 F.3d 1182, 1189 (9th Cir. 2011). We dismiss the petition for review.

*742 We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s decision to deny Juarez-Rios’s motion to reopen, because Juarez-Rios’s pleadings before the IJ establish that he is removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) and § 1227(a) (2) (B) (i) by reason of his conviction for possession of methamphetamine for sale. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(C); see also Pagayon, 675 F.3d at 1189 (holding that a petitioner’s pleading-stage admissions may be sufficient to establish remov-ability). Juarez-Rios does not raise a col-orable constitutional claim or question of law sufficient to restore our jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D). See Mendez-Castro v. Mukasey, 552 F.8d 975, 978 (9th Cir. 2009) (“To be colorable in this context ..., the claim [or question] must have some possible validity.” (internal quotation marks and citation omitted)).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
