PER CURIAM:
Estuardo Vinicio Monzon Lopez, a native and citizen of
Guatemala, petitions for review of a decision of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“Board”) affirming the immigration judge’s
discretionary denial of his application for adjustment of status.
We lack jurisdiction to review any claim that the Board abused its
discretion in affirming the denial of adjustment of status. 8
U.S.C.A. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i) (West 2005). Under 8 U.S.C.A.
§ 1252(a)(2)(D) (West 2005), we do have “a narrowly circumscribed
jurisdiction to resolve constitutional claims or questions of law
raised by aliens seeking discretionary relief.” Higuit v.
Gonzales, 433 F.3d 417, 419 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 126 S. Ct.
2973 (2006). However, we find no merit in Monzon Lopez’s alleged
deprivations of his constitutional rights. Accordingly, we dismiss
in part and deny in part the petition 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.
PETITION DISMISSED IN PART; DENIED IN PART
