§ 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Fernandez-Ruiz v. Gonzales, 468
F.3d 1159, 1163 (9th Cir. 2006), and we deny the petition for review.
Padilla’s contention that his conviction for possession of drug paraphernalia
in violation of Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-3415 is not a crime relating to a
controlled substance under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(B)(i) is foreclosed. See Luu-Le
v. INS, 224 F.3d 911, 916 (9th Cir. 2000); see also Ruiz-Vidal v. Gonzales, 473
F.3d 1072, 1077 n.5 (9th Cir. 2007).
