U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Ramirez-Villalpando v.
Holder, 645 F.3d 1035, 1038 (9th Cir. 2011), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA correctly determined that Sanchez-Parra’s 2010 conviction for
petty theft with priors, in violation of California Penal Code §§ 484 and 666,
constituted an aggravated felony theft offense under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(G),
where the record of conviction shows that she pleaded guilty to theft of personal
property and was sentenced to two years imprisonment. See United States v.
Rivera, 658 F.3d 1073, 1076-78 (9th Cir. 2011) (a conviction for petty theft with
priors under California Penal Code §§ 484 and 666 constitutes an aggravated
felony theft offense where the record of conviction shows defendant pleaded guilty
to theft of personal property and received a sentence of at least one year); see also
Ramirez-Villalpando, 645 F.3d at 1040-41 (using an abstract of judgment in
combination with the charging document to establish that a conviction was for a
removable offense).
Because Sanchez-Parra was convicted of an aggravated felony, the BIA
correctly concluded that she is removable, see 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii), and
statutorily ineligible for cancellation of removal, see 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(a)(3).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
