Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and McKEOWN, Circuit Judges.
Jesus Rangel-Reynel, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge's removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Perez-Mejia v. Holder, ______ F.3d ______ , No. 07- 70118, 2011 WL 5865888, at *4 (9th Cir. Nov. 23, 2011), and we deny the petition for review.
Rangel-Reynel's challenge to his removability under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) for having been convicted of an aggravated felony fails because he is bound by his attorney's concession of removability during the pleading stage. See Perez-Mejia, 2011 WL 5865888, at *5-11.
We grant Rangel-Reynel's motion to accept his late-filed reply brief.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
