Alien petitioned for review of Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) order denying his motion to reopen deportation proceedings against him, which he brought to apply for adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident following his marriage to a United States citizen. The Court of Appeals held that alien's failure to attach adjustment of status application warranted denial of motion.
Petition for Review denied.

Naveed Amjad ("Amjad"), a native of Pakistan, petitions for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") denying his motion to reopen his deportation proceedings. Amjad sought reopening in order to apply for an adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident on the basis of his marriage to a United States citizen. The BIA denied his motion in part because Amjad failed to attach the adjustment of status application, as was required under the regulations. 8 C.F.R. § 3.2.(c). We affirm the BIA's decision on that ground. Accordingly, we deny Amjad's petition for review.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
