Before: SCHROEDER, HAWKINS, and GOULD, Circuit Judges.
Ricardo Casas-Milian, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Ramirez-Villalpando v. Holder, 645 F.3d 1035, 1038 (9th Cir. 2011), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA correctly concluded that Casas-Milian is removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) and (B)(i) as a result of his conviction under California Health and Safety Code § 11378. Contrary to Casas-Milian's contention, the charging document and abstract of judgment submitted by the government are sufficient to establish that his offense involved methamphetamine, a substance controlled under federal law. See id. at 1041 (using an abstract of judgment in combination with a charging document to establish that a conviction was for a removable offense); see also Pagayon v. Holder, 675 F.3d 1182, 1189 (9th Cir. 2011) (stating that methamphetamine is a federally-controlled substance).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
