Jesus Rangel-Reynel v. Eric H. Holder Jr.

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION JAN 06 2012 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT JESUS RANGEL-REYNEL, No. 08-74026 Petitioner, Agency No. A076-637-737 v. MEMORANDUM * ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted December 19, 2011 ** Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and McKEOWN, Circuit Judges. Jesus Rangel-Reynel, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ 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, Perez-Mejia v. Holder, __ F.3d __, No. 07- * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). 70118, 2011 WL 5865888, at *4 (9th Cir. Nov. 23, 2011), and we deny the petition for review. Rangel-Reynel’s challenge to his removability under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) for having been convicted of an aggravated felony fails because he is bound by his attorney’s concession of removability during the pleading stage. See Perez-Mejia, 2011 WL 5865888, at *5-11. We grant Rangel-Reynel’s motion to accept his late-filed reply brief. PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 2 08-74026
