PER CURIAM:
John Kojo Shoetan, a native and citizen of Ghana,
petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“Board”)
order affirming the immigration judge’s decision that he was
without jurisdiction to consider the application for adjustment of
status. We grant the petition for review and remand the case to
the Board for further consideration in light of 71 Federal Register
27,585 (May 12, 2006). 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.
PETITION GRANTED AND REMANDED
