MEMORANDUM *

ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the

Board of Immigration Appeals

Submitted May 25, 2010 **

Before: CANBY, THOMAS, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

Paul Brown, a native and citizen of Jamaica, petitions pro se for review of

the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order summarily affirming an immigration

judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de

novo questions of law, Rendon v. Mukasey, 520 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir. 2008), and

we deny the petitions for review.

The record of conviction establishes that Brown was convicted of

“Attempted Possession of Marijuana for Sale,” a felony, in violation of Arizona

Revised Statutes §§ 13-3401, 3405, 3418, 1001, 301, 302, 303, 304, 701, 702,

702.01, and 801. See United States v. Snellenberger, 548 F.3d 699, 702 (9th Cir.

2008) (en banc) (per curiam). The agency properly concluded that “Attempted

Possession of Marijuana for Sale” contains a trafficking element and is therefore an

aggravated felony under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(B). See Rendon, 520 F.3d at 975-

76. Accordingly, the agency did not err in finding Brown removable.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
