Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Milagros Cerros-Henrriquez, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge's removal order. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Mielewczyk v. Holder, 575 F.3d 992, 994 (9th Cir.2009). We deny in part and grant in part the petition for review.
The record of conviction establishes that Cerros-Henrriquez's 1993 conviction for violating California Health and Safety Code § 11352(a) ("section 11352(a)") related to cocaine, a federally defined controlled substance. See United States v. Snellenberger, 548 F.3d 699, 702 (9th Cir.2008) (en banc) (per curiam) (a clerk's minute order may be considered with the information in applying the modified categorical approach). Cerros-Henrriquez's contention that section 11352(a) is over-broad for the purpose of establishing re-movability under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(2)(A)(i)(II), because it prohibits solicitation to commit a controlled substance related offense, is foreclosed. See Mielewczyk, 575 F.3d at 997-98.
The agency concluded that Cerros-Hen-rriquez's conviction under section 11352(a) was a drug trafficking aggravated felony under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(B) and rendered her statutorily ineligible for both asylum and voluntary departure. See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b) (2) (A) (ii), (B)(i); 1229c(b)(l)(C). The agency made this determination without the benefit of our decision in Sandoval-Lua v. Gonzales, 499 F.3d 1121, 1132 (9th Cir.2007), where we held that, in the context of the modified categorical analysis, an applicant for relief has met the requirements of 8 C.F.R. § 1240.8(d) where the record of conviction is inconclusive as to whether the offense constitutes an aggravated felony. We therefore remand for the agency to reconsider petitioner's eligibility for asylum and, if necessary, voluntary departure.
The parties shall bear their own costs on this petition for review.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED in part; GRANTED in part; REMANDED.
