PER CURIAM:
Vaughn Winston Johnson, a native and citizen of Trinidad and Tobago, petitions for
review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying his request for
adjustment of status in conjunction with a waiver of inadmissibility as a matter of discretion
and denying his motion to remand. Upon review, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to
consider Johnson’s claims challenging the Board’s discretion-based decisions to deny
relief and remand. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i); Jean v. Gonzales, 435 F.3d 475, 481
(4th Cir. 2006). While we retain jurisdiction to review constitutional claims and questions
of law, 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D), Johnson’s claims do not so qualify. Accordingly, we
dismiss the petition for review for lack of jurisdiction. In re Johnson (B.I.A. Oct. 31, 2024).
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
PETITION DISMISSED
