MEMORANDUM ***
Nelson Tamayo-Omar, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order summarily affirming an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) order of deportation. This case is governed by the transitional rules of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (“IIRIRA”). See Alfaro-Reyes v. INS, 224 F.3d 916, 920 (9th Cir.2000). We have jurisdiction to determine our own jurisdiction, id. at 918, and we dismiss the petition.
Pursuant to IIRIRA § 309(c)(4)(G), no direct appeal is permitted where an alien is deportable by reason of having eommit-ted an offense covered by Immigration and Nationality Act § 241(a)(2)(A)(iii) (aggravated felonies). See Alfaro-Reyes, 224 F.3d at 920-21. Petitioner’s conviction under California Penal Code § 288(a) for lewd and lascivious acts upon a child under 14 is an aggravated felony. See United States v. Baron-Medina, 187 F.3d 1144, 1147 (9th Cir.1999). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to consider Petitioner’s claims, including his constitutional claims. See Alfaro-Reyes, 224 F.3d at 922.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
