PER CURIAM:
Alejandro Gonzales-Silva, a native and citizen of
Peru, seeks review of orders of the Board of Immigration Appeals
(Board) affirming the Immigration Judge’s discretionary denial
of his application for adjustment of status and denying his
motions to reopen and reconsider. We have fully considered
Gonzales-Silva’s contentions, and conclude that we are without
jurisdiction to review the Board’s order affirming the
discretionary denial of adjustment of status. See 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(a)(2)(B)(i) (2006). Next, we have reviewed
Gonzales-Silva’s arguments and find no abuse of discretion in
the Board’s orders denying Gonzales-Silva’s motions to reopen
and reconsider. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2008); Afanwi v.
Mukasey, 526 F.3d 788 (4th Cir. 2008).
Accordingly, we dismiss in part and deny in part the
petitions for review. We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
