United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.

Decided: November 1, 2019.

GLENN FORMICA , New Haven, CT, for Petitioner Giovanni Howard Wood.

KILEY KANE , Senior Litigation Counsel, Office of Immigration Litigation ( Stephen J. Flynn , Assistant Director, on the brief), for Chad A.

Before: WINTER, POOLER, and PARK, Circuit Judges.

We hold that first-degree robbery in violation of Connecticut General Statutes § 53a-134(a)(4) is a crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. § 16(a) and as a result, is an aggravated felony for which a petitioner may be removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii). Accordingly, we DENY the petition for review.
