Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Eduardo Jr. Pagdilao Dahilig, a native and citizen of the Philippines, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's order of removal. Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing de novo, Sandoval-Lua v. Gonzales, 499 F.3d 1121, 1126-27 (9th Cir.2007), we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
The BIA did not err in finding Dahilig removable as an aggravated felon under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) because his conviction under California Penal Code § 211 for robbery categorically constitutes a crime, of violence under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(F) and Dahilig was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of at least one year for his crime. See U.S. v. McDougherty, 920 F.2d 569, 573 (9th Cir.1990) ("[Rjobbery under California law is . by definition a crime of violence.").
We do not have authority to order that Dahilig be released from detention. See 8 U.S.C. § 1226(e).
Dahilig's remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; DISMISSED in part.
