Before: SCHROEDER, TALLMAN and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
Enrique Alejandro Reyes Otero petitions for review of the Board of
Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) denial of his motion to reconsider. We have
jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and we deny the petition for review.
The parties are familiar with the facts of the case so we do not repeat them
here. The BIA’s factual determination that Reyes Otero was sentenced to
imprisonment for a period of a year or more is supported by substantial evidence.
See § 1252(b)(4)(B); see also Zehatye v. Gonzales, 453 F.3d 1182, 1185 (9th Cir.
2006). By its plain terms, the docket record reflects a cumulative imposed
sentence of 457 days.
Because Reyes Otero was sentenced to a year or more of imprisonment for
committing a crime of violence, he is statutorily ineligible for relief under section
203(c) of the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act
(“NACARA”). 8 C.F.R. § 1240.65(a) (“To establish eligibility for suspension of
deportation under this section, the applicant must . . . not have been convicted of an
aggravated felony . . . .”); see also 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(43)(F) (defining “aggravated

felony” as a crime of violence . . . for which the term of imprisonment [is] at least
one year). On this record, Reyes Otero cannot demonstrate that he may have been
prejudiced by the claimed failure of his prior counsel to seek relief under
NACARA.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
