                                                  Respondent

                        Petition for Review of an Order of the
                           Board of Immigration Appeals
                                BIA No. A096 432 071

Before STEWART, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Elvis Radhames Mota-Sanchez (Mota), a native and citizen of the
Dominican Republic, petitions this court for review of a Final Administrative
Removal Order issued by the Department of Homeland Security ordering him
removed pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) because he has been convicted
of an aggravated felony. Mota challenges the removal order on the ground that
his convictions for violating 21 U.S.C. § 846 are the result of a conspiracy by
Government officials.        He does not allege that the convictions have been

       *
         Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.

                                 No. 12-60963

overturned or dispute that § 846 is an aggravated felony within the meaning of
§ 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii). Mota may not collaterally attack the legitimacy of his
convictions in a petition for review. See Singh v. Holder, 568 F.3d 525, 528 (5th
Cir. 2009). Accordingly, we do not have jurisdiction to consider the petition for
review. See DeLeon-Holguin v. Ashcroft, 253 F.3d 811, 812-15 (5th Cir. 2001).
      PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
