Farried JASSIEM, Petitioner, v. Alberto R. GONZALES, Attorney General, Respondent, 174 F. App'x 735

PER CURIAM: Farried Jassiem, a native and citizen of Iraq, petitions for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying his application for adjustment of status under 8 U.S.C.A. § 1255 (West 1999 & Supp.2005). Under 8 U.S.C.A. § 1252(a)(2)(B)® (West Supp. II 2005), this court lacks jurisdiction to review the Board’s discretionary decision to deny adjustment of status. A narrow exception to this jurisdictional bar exists when the petitioner raises constitutional claims or questions of law. 8 U.S.C.A. § 1252(a)(2)(D) (West Supp. II 2005); see Higuit v.

Gonzales, 433 F.3d 417, 419 (4th Cir.2006) (finding no jurisdiction where Higuit raised no constitutional claims or questions of law). Here, as Jassiem challenges only factual issues and the Board’s exercise of discretion, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction under § 1252(a)(2)(B)®. Accordingly, we deny 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 DENIED.
