United States Eighth Circuit

A petition for review of a decision finding petitioner removable and statutorily ineligible for cancellation of removal is denied as he was convicted of possession of firearms and ammunition by an unlawful user of a controlled substance under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922(g)(3), and thus, he was an aggravated felon for purposes of removal and cancellation of removal, despite the alleged sporting purpose of the guns at issue.
