Before:        ALARCÓN, LEAVY, and GRABER, Circuit Judges.

       Irma De Sanchez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the

Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration

judge’s decision finding her removable for participating in alien smuggling. We

have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the

             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
agency’s findings of fact, Urzua Covarrubias v. Gonzales, 487 F.3d 742, 744 (9th

Cir. 2007), and review de novo legal questions, Altamirano v. Gonzales, 427 F.3d

586, 591 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petition for review.

      Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that De Sanchez is

removable for alien smuggling where the documentary evidence indicated that De

Sanchez knowingly assisted in the smuggling attempt. See Urzua Covarrubias,

487 F.3d at 748-49; see also Altamirano, 427 F.3d at 595.

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
