Holding that (1) Petitioner's conviction for conspiracy to possess marijuana with intent to distribute, in violation of New Jersey's general conspiracy statute, N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2C:5-2, constituted a federal controlled substance offense, which rendered Petitioner inadmissible, (2) the Board was permitted to consider Petitioner's indictment as evidence of his conviction, and (3) Court lacked jurisdiction to consider Petitioner's unexhausted argument that DHS did not carry its burden of establishing removability because the indictment considered by the Board was not the indictment to which he pled guilty.
