Katsas, Assistant Attorney General, William C. Peachey, Assistant Director, Eric W. Marsteller, OFFICE OF IMMIGRATION LITIGATION, Washington, D.C., for Respondent. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Peterneil S. Barrows, a native and citizen of Jamaica, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal from the Immigration Judge’s decision, which found him removable as an alien convicted of a crime of domestic violence and as an aggravated felon and ordered him removed to Jamaica. Before this court, Barrows contends that the Board erred in finding that he was convicted of an aggravated felony. Based on our review of the record, we agree that the 2003 conviction under Virginia law for domestic assault and battery against a family member amounted to a “crime of violence” and was therefore an aggravated felony. See 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(F) (2006); 18 U.S.C. § 16(a) (2006). The Board therefore properly upheld the charge of removability on this ground. See 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) (2006); In re: Barrows (B.I.A. Apr. 22, 2008). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. PETITION DENIED 2
