PER CURIAM:

            Alejandro       Gonzales-Silva,           a     native       and     citizen      of

Peru, seeks review of orders of the Board of Immigration Appeals

(Board) affirming the Immigration Judge’s discretionary denial

of   his   application      for      adjustment       of    status       and    denying      his

motions    to    reopen    and       reconsider.          We    have     fully       considered

Gonzales-Silva’s contentions, and conclude that we are without

jurisdiction       to     review        the       Board’s       order      affirming         the

discretionary      denial       of    adjustment      of       status.         See    8   U.S.C.

§ 1252(a)(2)(B)(i)          (2006).                 Next,        we       have         reviewed

Gonzales-Silva’s arguments and find no abuse of discretion in

the Board’s orders denying Gonzales-Silva’s motions to reopen

and reconsider.           See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2008); Afanwi v.

Mukasey, 
526 F.3d 788
 (4th Cir. 2008).

            Accordingly, we dismiss in part and deny in part the

petitions for review.                We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials       before    the    court    and       argument      would        not     aid   the

decisional process.

                                                      PETITIONS DISMISSED IN PART
                                                               AND DENIED IN PART
