United States Seventh Circuit

Petition for review of a denial of a continuance in removal hearings and a denial of a discretionary adjustment of status is denied where the court does not have jurisdiction over continuance and adjustment of status decisions, and the BIA properly exercised its appellate-review authority over discretionary issues when it determined petitioner did not merit a status adjustment.
