review de novo whether a particular offense is an aggravated felony, Ngaeth v.
Mukasey, 545 F.3d 796, 800 (9th Cir. 2008) (per curiam), and we deny the petition
for review.
The agency properly determined that Meas’ conviction under California
Penal Code § 459, for which he was sentenced to sixteen months imprisonment,
constitutes an aggravated felony under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(G) and (U), where
the record of conviction establishes that Meas pled guilty to “enter[ing a] locked
car to steal.” See Ngaeth, 545 F.3d at 802 (conviction for entering a locked vehicle
with the intent to commit theft constitutes an attempted theft offense for purposes
of the aggravated felony definition).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
