United States Ninth Circuit

In a petition for review of a final removal order, petition is denied where petitioner, a native and citizen of Mexico, who is inadmissible under 8 U.S.C. section 1182(a)(9)(C)(i)(I) cannot apply for adjustment of status under 8 U.S.C. section 1255(i) and because the BIA decision in Briones is entitled to Chevron deference in light of its reasonable interpretation of the statutory framework of sections 1182(a)(9)(C)(i)(I) and 1255(i).
