31, 2006) (California conviction of maintaining a place to
store drugs for sale, in violation of Health & Safety
Code § 11366, constitutes a drug trafficking aggravated
felony under INA § 101(a)(43)(B), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(B),

holds that a violation of California Heath & Safety Code

of offenses), and is thus categorically an aggravated felony
drug offense.
