On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted December 19, 2012**
Before: GOODWIN, WALLACE, and FISHER, Circuit Judges.

U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent

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.
