Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Lily Audrey Wiepert petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") order summarily affirming an immigration judge's ("IJ") decision finding Wiepert removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(3)(D). We review factual findings for substantial evidence, Aruta v. INS, 80 F.3d 1389, 1393 (9th Cir.1996), and review de novo questions of law, Montero-Martinez v. Ashcroft, 277 F.3d 1137, 1145 (9th Cir.2002). We deny the petition for review.
Wiepert testified that she knowingly used a fraudulent U.S. birth certificate to apply for a U.S. passport. Substantial evidence supports the IJ's conclusion that Weipert is removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(3)(D) ("[a]ny alien who falsely represents, or has falsely represented, himself to be a citizen of the United States for any purpose or benefit under this chapter . or any Federal or State law is deportable.").
Contrary to Wiepert's contentions, she was properly charged with removability under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(3)(D) rather than 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(c)(ii), because she had been admitted. See Toro-Romero v. Ashcroft, 382 F.3d 930, 936 (9th Cir.2004).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
