MEMORANDUM **

Virginio Delabra-Rebollar, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Cazarez-Gutierrez v. Ashcroft, 382 F.3d 905, 909 (9th Cir.2004), and we deny the petition for review.

Delabra-Rebollar’s conviction for violating California Health and Safety Code § 11378 is an aggravated felony under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(B). See id. at 919 (a state drug offense is an aggravated felony for immigration purposes if it contains a trafficking element). Contrary to Delabra-Rebollar’s contention, the record of conviction establishes that he was convicted of selling methamphetamine. See Shepard v. United States, 544 U.S. 13, 16, 125 S.Ct. 1254, 161 L.Ed.2d 205 (2005) (charging document and transcript of plea colloquy may be used for modified categorical analysis).

In his opening brief, Delabra-Rebollar did not challenge the agency’s denial of his application for withholding of removal and, therefore, has waived this issue. See Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256, 1259-60 (9th Cir.1996).

In light of our disposition, we need not address Delabra-Rebollar’s remaining contentions.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
