   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-3093
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Shepherd, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Petition for Review - Immigration. BIA's conclusion that a state court 
   drug paraphernalia conviction "relates to" a federal controlled substance 
   because it is a crime "involving conduct associated with the drug trade in 
   general" was a reasonable interpretation of the relevant statute, 8 U.S.C. 
   Sec. 1227(a);BIA did not err in relying on evidence outside the record of 
   conviction to determine that petitioner's state conviction fell outside 
   the personal use exception of 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1227(a)(2)(B)(i).
