Before SMITH, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Fermin Campos-Perez petitions for review of the decision of
the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) that he was deportable
under subsection 241(a)(2)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality
Act (Act), 8 U.S.C. § 1251(a)(2)(C). Campos argues that the
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) did not prove that
he was convicted of a firearm offense within the meaning of
§ 1251(a)(2)(C). He argues that the record of conviction does
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
not indicate that the weapon he was convicted of carrying was in
fact a firearm.
Substantial evidence supports the BIA's conclusion that
Campos' conviction for carrying a weapon was a firearm offense
for which he was deportable under § 1251(a)(2)(C). See Faddoul
v. INS, 37 F.3d 185, 188 (5th Cir. 1994). Campos has not
presented compelling evidence to the contrary. See INS v. Elias-
Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 483-84 (1992); Chun v. INS, 40 F.3d 76,
78 (5th Cir. 1994).
The petition for review is DENIED.
