1Opinion of the Court
CHIN, Circuit Judge:
Petitioner Cesar Manuel Gomez Santana was convicted in state court of attempted arson in the second degree in violation of New York law. In this case—a petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) affirming a decision of an Immigration Judge finding Santana removable and ineligible for cancellation ■ of removal—the question is whether attempted arson in the second degree is a “crime of violence” and therefore an “aggravated felony.” We hold that it is, and, accordingly, we dismiss the petition for review.
