United States First Circuit

A Moroccan national's petition for review of a removal order affirmed by the BIA is dismissed in part for lack of jurisdiction and otherwise denied, where adjustment of status was properly denied because: 1) the petitioner did not raise any legal or constitutional issue regarding the denial of section 212(h) inadmissibility waiver, thus denying the court jurisdiction over that claim; and 2) the petitioner was convicted of violating New Hampshire's reckless conduct statute, N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. section 631:3, and the BIA's determination that the crime was one involving moral turpitude was neither arbitrary nor contrary to law.
