MEMORANDUM*
ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted December 19, 2012**
Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and FISHER, Circuit Judges.
Armando Rivas-Solis, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of
the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an
immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
We review de novo questions of law, Cerezo v. Mukasey, 512 F.3d 1163, 1166 (9th
Cir. 2008), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA correctly concluded that Rivas-Solis is ineligible to adjust status
because he is inadmissible under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(9)(C)(i)(I) for having accrued
more than one year of unlawful presence in the United States and then reentering
without admission. See Garfias-Rodriguez v. Holder, No. 09-72603, 2012 WL
5077137, at *7 (9th Cir. Oct. 19, 2012) (en banc) (aliens who are inadmissible
under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(9)(C)(i)(I) are not eligible for adjustment of status under
8 U.S.C. § 1255(i)).
Rivas-Solis points to no authority to support his contention that the BIA was
required to issue a precedential decision in his case.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
