1Opinion of the Court
HOWARD, Circuit Judge.
The petitioner seeks review of a decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) holding that a prior conviction for the unlawful transfer of firearms rendered him statutorily ineligible for cancellation of removal. The petitioner argues that the BIA committed legal error in determining that his one-time sale of a single firearm constituted “trafficking in firearms” under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(C). Because the BIA’s determination involved a permissible construction of the Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA), we deny the petition for review.
