In appeal no. 12-9594, Jaime Medina Mejia, a native of Mexico, seeks review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) to uphold an immigration judge’s (IJ) order denying his application for cancellation of removal for non-permanent resident. In appeal no. 13-9537, he appeals the BIA’s denial of his motion for reconsideration. The BIA determined that Mr. Medina Mejia was ineligible for cancellation of removal because he did not meet the criteria of 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(C), specifically, that he had not been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude (CIMT). We exercise jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(1) and deny the petition for review.1
I. BACKGROUND
Mr. Medina Mejia was charged with having entered the United States in July 1989 without being admitted or paroled. He conceded removability and applied for cancellation of removal. Following a hearing at which he was represented by counsel, the IJ determined that Mr. Medina Mejia had been convicted of the crime of third-degree assault in violation of Colorado law. The relevant state statute provides: “A person commits the crime of assault in the third degree if [he] knowingly or recklessly causes bodily injury to another person or with criminal negligence [he] causes bodily injury to another person by means of a deadly weapon.” Colo.Rev. Stat. § 18-3-204(l)(a). The IJ held that because Mr. Medina Mejia was unable to establish that his conviction was not a CIMT, he was ineligible for cancellation of removal. Mr. Medina Mejia appealed to the BIA. The BIA found that (1) it was Mr. Medina Mejia’s “burden to establish that he is not ineligible for cancellation of removal”; (2) he provided evidence of his arrest for the crime of third-degree assault in violation of a Colorado state statute; (3) he testified that he was found guilty and fled the state, but later returned to enter a guilty plea to the same or a related charge; (4) a conviction under the state statute in question “may, under some circumstances, constitute a crime involving moral turpitude”; and (5) because he failed to provide sufficient information to establish that his crime did not involve moral turpitude, he failed to meet his burden. Admin. R. at 23-24. Accordingly, the BIA dismissed the appeal. The BIA also denied Mr. Medina Mejia’s motion to reconsider, finding that he had not provided any additional documents relative to his conviction and he had merely reiterated the arguments previously raised.
II. DISCUSSION
To be eligible for cancellation of removal under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l), Mr. Medina *835Mejia had the burden to show that (1) he had been present in the United States for ten years; (2) his moral character had been good for ten years; (3) he had not been convicted of certain crimes, including CIMTs; and (4) his removal would result in exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying relative. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(4) (placing burden of proof on alien to establish eligibility). “An alien convicted of a CIMT is considered inadmissible and is therefore not eligible for cancellation of removal....” Garcia v. Holder, 584 F.3d 1288, 1289 (10th Cir.2009) (citing 8 U.S.C. §§ 1182(a)(2)(A); 1229b(b)(l)(c)). Because the BIA found that Mr. Medina Mejia was ineligible for the discretionary relief he sought due to his inability to show that he had not been convicted of a CIMT, it did not address the other criteria. On appeal, Mr. Medina Mejia asserts that the BIA employed the incorrect legal analysis to evaluate his conviction as a CIMT.
“In our review of the agency’s decision, we decide purely legal questions de novo. ” Karki v. Holder, 715 F.3d 792, 800 (10th Cir.2013) (internal quotation marks omitted). Thus, we review de novo the BIA’s legal determination that Mr. Medina Mejia’s conviction under § 18-3-204(l)(a) qualified as a CIMT.2
Mr. Medina Mejia does not challenge the BIA’s ruling that it was his burden to demonstrate that he was not convicted of a CIMT. Rather, he contends that the BIA should have applied the categorical approach established in Taylor v. United States, 495 U.S. 575, 110 S.Ct. 2143, 109 L.Ed.2d 607 (1990), to determine that his conviction was not a CIMT. Under Taylor’s, categorical approach, “this court looks only to the statutory definition of the offense and not to the underlying facts of the conviction to determine whether the offense involves moral turpitude.” Efagene v. Holder, 642 F.3d 918, 921 (10th Cir.2011) (citing Taylor, 495 U.S. at 600, 110 S.Ct. 2143). However, when a criminal statute has divisible elements, some of which fall within the generic description and some of which do not, “courts resolve the ambiguity by consulting reliable judicial records, such as the charging document, plea agreement, ... plea colloquy,” or jury instructions. Ibarra v. Holder, 736 F.3d 903, 907, 2013 WL 3490753, at *3 (10th Cir. July 12, 2013) (internal quotation marks omitted); see Taylor, 495 U.S. at 602, 110 S.Ct. 2143.
Here, the BIA applied the categorical approach, concluding that some circumstances could constitute a CIMT under the state statute. The BIA then observed that Mr. Medina Mejia had not produced any reliable judicial records, or any evidence at all, that could shed light on the issue, and thus did not satisfy his burden of proof.3
Relying on Efagene, Mr. Medina Mejia also argues that unless the plain language of the statute of conviction includes evil *836intent as an element of the crime, it cannot be a CIMT under the Taylor approach. His argument further appears to be that because the Colorado third-degree assault statute does not require “intentional” conduct, but applies to “knowing” or “reckless” conduct, the crime was not one involving moral turpitude.
Mr. Medina Mejia’s reliance on Efagene is misplaced. There, the issue was whether the misdemeanor offense of failure to register as a sex offender was a CIMT. 642 F.3d at 919-20. The court ruled that “a knowing violation of a regulatory statute not involving an inherently despicable act is still insufficient to constitute a [CIMT].” Id. at 925. This ruling cannot be extrapolated, as Mr. Medina Mejia urges, to mean that § 18-3-204(l)(a), which prohibits “knowing” or “reckless” conduct, is not a CIMT.
Furthermore, Mr. Medina Mejia’s argument is foreclosed by Garcia, 584 F.3d 1288, a case he does not attempt to distinguish. Garcia held that § 18-3-204 covers conduct that is morally turpitudinous, as well as conduct that is not. 584 F.3d at 1289. There, the court held that the burden was on the alien to prove his eligibility for the requested relief, and because the record of his criminal proceedings was inconclusive, he failed to meet that burden. Id. at 1290. This case has the same result. Mr. Medina Mejia has not met his burden of proving that his conviction under § 18-3-204 was not a CIMT and is therefore not eligible for cancellation of removal.
III. CONCLUSION
The petition for review is denied.
