his motion to reopen removal proceedings. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8
U.S.C. § 1252. We dismiss the petition for review.
We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s order because Salazar-Carranza is
removable for an aggravated felony crime of violence based on his conviction for
second-degree robbery in violation of California Penal Code § 211. See 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(a)(2)(C); United States v. McDougherty, 920 F.2d 569, 573-74 (9th Cir.
1990) (conviction under California Penal Code § 211 is categorically a crime of
violence).
Salazar-Carranza’s challenge to the BIA’s denial of his motion to reopen so
that he may pursue post-conviction relief does not raise a colorable constitutional
claim that would restore our jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D). See
Planes v. Holder, 652 F.3d 991, 996 (9th Cir. 2011) (a conviction is final for
immigration purposes where a judgment of guilt has been entered and a
punishment imposed, even where an appeal or collateral attack is pending).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
