   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-4014
                          and No:  17-1618
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Petition for Review - Immigration. This court has previously held that a 
   misdemeanor conviction for domestic assault in violation of Minn. Stat. 
   Sec. 609.2242, subd. 1(1) is a violent felony under the force clause of 
   the Armed Career Criminal Act and the BIA did not err concluding the 
   conviction was a crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 16(a), thereby 
   making petitioner ineligible for cancellation of removal; nor did the BIA 
   abuse its discretion by denying petitioner's motion for reconsideration.
