(2006); 18 U.S.C. § 16(a) (2006). Thus, the Board properly upheld the charge of removability on this ground. See 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) (2006); In re: Reyes-Vara (B.I.A. Apr. 29, 2009). Accordingly, dispense with oral we deny argument the petition because the for facts review. and We legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
