1Opinion of the Court
DENNIS, Circuit Judge:
JORGE M. HAMDAN (“HAMDAN”), a citizen of Nicaragua, entered the United States as a lawful permanent resident. HAMDAN petitions this court for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) determination that the appellant is deporta-ble because he was convicted of two crimes involving moral turpitude pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1251(a)(2)(A)®. HAMDAN claims that the BIA erred in finding that his conviction under the Louisiana simple kidnapping statute constitutes a “crime involving moral turpitude” (“CIMT”) for purposes of United States immigration laws.
