MEMORANDUM*
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted December 19, 2012**
Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and FISHER, Circuit Judges.
Erika Aldana de Marquez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an
immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252.

novo questions of law. Rodriguez-Echeverria v. Mukasey, 534 F.3d 1047, 1050
(9th Cir. 2008). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Aldana de
Marquez knowingly encouraged and assisted another alien in seeking entry to the
United States in violation of law. See 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(E)(i); Altamirano v.
Gonzales, 427 F.3d 586, 592 (9th Cir. 2005) (requiring an affirmative act of
assistance or encouragement in order to establish alien smuggling).
Contrary to Aldana de Marquez’s contention, the agency’s admission of the
Form I-213, Record of Deportable/Inadmissible Alien, was fundamentally fair.
See Espinoza v. INS, 45 F.3d 308, 310 (9th Cir. 1995) (admission of Form I-213 is
fair absent evidence of coercion or that the statements do not belong to petitioner).
Aldana de Marquez’s claim under 8 C.F.R. § 287.3(c) is unavailing. See
Samayoa-Martinez v. Holder, 558 F.3d 897 (9th Cir. 2009).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
