Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Majesty Ibay Gali, a native and citizen of the Philippines, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' summary affirmance without opinion of an immigration judge's ("IJ") removal order. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and deny the petition for review.
Reviewing de novo, Altamirano v. Gonzales, 427 F.3d 586, 591 (9th Cir.2005), we conclude that the IJ properly relied upon police and probation reports relating to Gali's admitted convictions in exercising his discretion to deny Gali cancellation of removal. See Tokatly v. Ashcroft, 371 F.3d 613, 621 (9th Cir.2004) (" '[I]t is proper [for the Board] to look to probative evidence outside the record of conviction in inquiring as to the circumstances surrounding the commission of [a] crime in order to determine whether a favorable exercise of discretion is warranted (quoting In re Mendez-Moralez, 211. & N. Dec. 296, 303, 1996 WL 227774 n. 1 (BIA 1996) (en banc)) (alterations in original)). Contrary to Gali's contention, the IJ did not "essentially [find] that Gali had been convicted of sexual battery of a minor," but rather stated explicitly that "he has not been convicted of an aggravated felony."
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
