Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 24-2153 Doc: 20 Filed: 08/12/2025 Pg: 2 of 2 PER CURIAM: Vaughn Winston Johnson, a native and citizen of Trinidad and Tobago, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying his request for adjustment of status in conjunction with a waiver of inadmissibility as a matter of discretion and denying his motion to remand. Upon review, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider Johnson’s claims challenging the Board’s discretion-based decisions to deny relief and remand. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i); Jean v. Gonzales, 435 F.3d 475, 481 (4th Cir. 2006). While we retain jurisdiction to review constitutional claims and questions of law, 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D), Johnson’s claims do not so qualify. Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for review for lack of jurisdiction. In re Johnson (B.I.A. Oct. 31, 2024). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. PETITION DISMISSED 2
