United States Seventh Circuit

Petition for review of an order of removal finding petitioner a deportable aggravated felon based on a conviction for battery is denied where: 1) the elements of domestic battery under Illinois law establish that it is a crime of violence subjecting him; and 2) the court lacked jurisdiction to review a claim that the BIA applied the incorrect legal standard when it determined that he did not qualify for protection under the Convention Against Torture.
