SESSIONS III, UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL, Respondent. _____________________________________ FOR PETITIONER: Jaime Daniel Lozano, pro se, Cape Vincent, NY. FOR RESPONDENT: Chad A. Readler, Acting Assistant Attorney General; Linda S. Wernery, Assistant Director; Lindsay B. Glauner, Senior Litigation Counsel, Office of Immigration Litigation, United States Department of Justice, Washington, DC. UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review is DENIED. Petitioner Jaime Daniel Lozano, a native and citizen of Colombia, seeks review of a January 11, 2017, decision of the BIA affirming an August 22, 2016, decision of an Immigration Judge (“IJ”) ordering Lozano removed to Colombia. In re Jaime Daniel Lozano, No. A 013 877 563 (B.I.A. Jan. 11, 2017), aff’g No. A 013 877 563 (Immig. Ct. Napanoch Aug. 22, 2016).

Lozano has been convicted of three such crimes: (1) third-degree robbery under New York Penal Law (“NYPL”) § 160.05 in 1978; (2) attempted third-degree robbery under NYPL §§ 110, 160.05 in 2008; and (3) promoting the sexual performance of a child under NYPL § 263.15 in 2015. He does not dispute that all three of these crimes are CIMTs. Lozano argues that, as a matter of res judicata, neither of his robbery convictions may be used to charge him as removable for two CIMTs because, in a prior removal proceeding in 2011, he was charged as removable on the ground that those ...
