Before SMITH, DUHE’ and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Hoang Thanh Ly seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis
(IFP) in his petition for review of the order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (BIA) affirming the order of the Immigration
Judge (IJ) ordering Ly deported. Ly’s IFP motion is denied.
This court must examine the basis of its jurisdiction on its
own motion if necessary. Mosley v. Cozby, 813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th
Cir. 1987). We lack jurisdiction to review a BIA decision
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule
47.5.4.
No. 97-60072
- 2 -
ordering deportation for conviction of an aggravated felony.
8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(C); see 8 U.S.C. § 1251(a)(2)(A)(iii).
Ly’s burglary conviction is an aggravated felony under the
immigration laws. 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(G). Because we lack
jurisdiction to review the BIA’s order, Ly’s petition is
dismissed.
IFP DENIED; PETITION DISMISSED.
