the
Immigration
("Board")
dismissing
appeal
Immigration Judge's decision, which found him removable as an alien convicted of a crime of violence that qualified as an aggravated felony and ordered him removed to Mexico. Before this court, Reyes-Vara contends the Board erred in finding that he was convicted of an aggravated felony. Based
on our review of the record, we agree that the 2007 conviction under Virginia law for assault and battery against a family
member, third offense, amounted to a "crime of violence" and was therefore an aggravated felony. See 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(F) Thus, the Board properly See 8 U.S.C.
(2006); 18 U.S.C. § 16(a) (2006).
upheld the charge of removability on this ground.
§ 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) (2006); In re: Reyes-Vara (B.I.A. Apr. 29, 2009). Accordingly, dispense with oral we deny the petition the for facts review. and We
argument
because
legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
