* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent

The Board correctly determined that petitioner’s conviction of attempted
aggravated assault under Ariz. Rev. Stat. §§ 13-1203(A)(1), 13-1204(A)(2), & 13-
1001, qualifies as an aggravated felony/crime of violence under 8 U.S.C. §
1101(a)(43)(F). Attempted aggravated assault under Arizona law covers only
intentional conduct, United States v. Gomez-Hernandez, 680 F.3d 1171, 1176 (9th Cir.
2012), and this offense satisfies both prongs of 18 U.S.C. § 16. See United States v.
Cabrera-Perez, 751 F.3d 1000, 1007 (9th Cir. 2014) (citing United States v.
Ceron-Sanchez, 222 F.3d 1169, 1172-73 (9th Cir. 2000), overruled on other grounds,
Fernandez-Ruiz v. Gonzales, 466 F.3d 1121 (9th Cir. 2006)). We lack jurisdiction to
consider petitioner’s argument that the Board relied on incorrect factual
determinations in finding this offense a “particularly serious crime.” See Pechenkov
v. Holder, 705 F.3d 444, 448 (9th Cir. 2012). Finally, petitioner fails to show that the
record compels a finding in his favor on his claim under the Convention Against
Torture. See Delgado-Ortiz v. Holder, 600 F.3d 1148, 1152 (9th Cir. 2010)
(“Petitioners’ generalized evidence of violence and crime in Mexico is not particular
to Petitioners and is insufficient to meet this standard.”).
PETITION DENIED IN PART AND DISMISSED IN PART.
