   MEMORANDUM

Ramon Carlos Juarez-Rios, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from a decision of an immigration judge (“IJ”) denying Juarez-Rios’s motion to reopen. We review de novo questions of law. Pagayon v. Holder, 675 F.3d 1182, 1189 (9th Cir.2011). We dismiss the petition for review.

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s decision to deny Juarez-Rios’s motion to reopen, because Juarez-Rios’s pleadings before the IJ establish that he is removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) and § 1227(a) (2) (B) (i) by reason of his conviction for possession of methamphetamine for sale. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(C); see also Pagayon, 675 F.3d at 1189 (holding that a petitioner’s pleading-stage admissions may be sufficient to establish remov-ability). Juarez-Rios does not raise a col-orable constitutional claim or question of law sufficient to restore our jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D). See Mendez-Castro v. Mukasey, 552 F.8d 975, 978 (9th Cir.2009) (“To be colorable in this context ..., the claim [or question] must have some possible validity.” (internal quotation marks and citation omitted)).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
