NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS SEP 18 2017 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT U.S. COURT OF APPEALS STEFAN JOHN DENSER, AKA Robert No. 14-73282 John Denser, AKA Sean, Agency No. A017-206-586 Petitioner, v. MEMORANDUM* JEFFERSON B.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted September 13, 2017** San Francisco, California Before: KOZINSKI and FRIEDLAND, Circuit Judges, and ARTERTON, *** District Judge.

See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). *** The Honorable Janet Bond Arterton, Senior United States District Judge for the District of Connecticut, sitting by designation. have no jurisdiction to consider Denser’s factual argument that his conviction was not for a “particularly serious” crime. See Pechenkov v. Holder, 705 F.3d 444, 448-49 (9th Cir. 2012). We do have jurisdiction to consider his legal argument— that the BIA applied an incorrect legal test—and we consider that argument de novo. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D); Brezilien v. Holder, 569 F.3d 403, 410-11 (9th Cir. 2009). But because we have already determined that the challenged test is valid, Denser cannot succeed. See Miguel-Miguel v. Gonzales, 500 F.3d 941, 944-49 (9th Cir. 2007) (reviewing and upholding the test described in In re Y-L-, A-G- & R-S-R-, 23 I&N Dec. 270 (2002), overruled on other grounds by Zheng v. Ashcroft, 332 F.3d 1186, 1196 (9th Cir. 2003)); see also Rendon v. Mukasey, 520 F.3d 967, 973-76 (9th Cir. 2008) (upholding a removal order under application of the test in In re Y-L-).
