v. Mukasey, 520 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir. 2008), and we deny the petition for
review.
The agency properly concluded that the conviction documents in the record
establish that Ferrer-Negrete’s March 12, 2001, conviction under Arizona Revised
Statutes § 13-3408 for possession for sale of cocaine renders him removable under
8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) and 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(B)(i). See 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(a)(2)(C); see also Rendon, 520 F.3d at 976 (“[P]ossession of a controlled
substance with the intent to sell contains a trafficking element and is an aggravated
felony.”). Our jurisdiction therefore is limited to questions of law. See 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(a)(2)(D).
Because Ferrer-Negrete’s conviction is an aggravated felony, the agency did
not err in concluding that he was statutorily ineligible for cancellation of removal.
See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(a)(3); see also Rendon, 520 F.3d at 976.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
