                                                  Respondent


                        Petition for Review of an Order of the
                           Board of Immigration Appeals
                                BIA No. A039 172 353


Before BARKSDALE, DENNIS, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Virginia Benedicta Vega de Marcote, a native and citizen of Colombia,
challenges the denial of her application for withholding of removal.
       Following several Texas state-law drug convictions, Vega was charged
with being an alien subject to removal, on the grounds she was convicted of:
an aggravated felony, see 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii); an attempt, or



       * Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir.
R. 47.5.4.

                                 No. 14-60795

conspiracy, to commit an aggravated felony, id.; and a violation of a state law
regarding federally-controlled substances, see 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(B)(i). Vega
conceded removability pursuant to § 1227(a)(2)(B)(i), but denied she was
removable as an aggravated felon under § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii).        Following a
hearing, the immigration judge (IJ) sustained the aggravated-felony-
removability charge.
      Vega subsequently filed an application for asylum and withholding of
removal under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and the Convention
Against Torture (CAT), asserting she would be subject to persecution from
guerillas and gangs if forced to return to Colombia. The IJ concluded Vega
failed to establish she was entitled to withholding of removal under either the
INA or CAT, and the Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed the IJ’s decision
and dismissed her appeal.
      When an alien is removable under §§ 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii) or (a)(2)(B), we
generally lack jurisdiction to review a final order of removal.        8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(a)(2)(C); e.g., Flores-Garza v. I.N.S., 328 F.3d 797, 801 (5th Cir. 2003).
Jurisdiction is proper, however, if petitioner presents “constitutional claims or
questions of law”. 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D).
      Vega contends:      the evidence, including her credible testimony,
establishes she is eligible for withholding of removal under the INA; and the
IJ erred in concluding otherwise. Her assertions, however, present nothing
more than her disagreement with the IJ’s factual findings; therefore, we lack
jurisdiction to review the final order of removal. E.g., Siwe v. Holder, 742 F.3d
603, 613 (5th Cir. 2014); 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(C).
      DISMISSED.
