United States Ninth Circuit

A Russian citizen's petition for review of the BIA's denial of withholding of removal and adjustment of status is: 1) dismissed as to the petitioner's challenge to the discretionary determination finding him ineligible for withholding because the crime underlying his removability was a "particularly serious crime"; and 2) denied as to the petitioner's challenge to the provisions precluding adjustment of status after his asylee status was revoked, also due to his conviction.
