United States Eighth Circuit

Adjustment of status is discretionary relief, and petitioner has neither a constitutional right in such relief nor a right to due process in proceedings brought to obtain such relief, and the Board of Immigration Appeals did not abuse its discretion in dismissing a motion to reopen proceedings when the motion was based on claims of ineffective assistance of counsel.
