United States Ninth Circuit

Defendant's petition for review of a final order of removal following the Board of Immigration Appeals' determination that his conviction for attempted kidnapping under California Penal Code section 207(a) is an aggravated felony because it is categorically a crime of violence, is denied because an ordinary case of kidnapping under the statute presents of substantial risk of force, and thus section 207(a) defines a crime of violence.
