Segundo Walter Gonzalez-Gonzalez, a native and citizen of Ecuador, petitions this court for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals affirming the immigration judge’s discretionary denial of his application for adjustment of status of nonimmigrant to that of a person admitted for permanent residence.

We have considered Gonzalez-Gonzalez’s challenge to the discretionary denial of his application for adjustment of status and conclude that we lack jurisdiction to review it. See 8 U.S.C. § 1255(a) (2000) (governing adjustment of status applications); 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)© (2000) (“[N]o court shall have jurisdiction to review any judgment regarding the granting of relief under section ... 1255 [the section governing adjustment of status]”); Velasquez-Gabriel v. Crocetti, 263 F.3d 102, 104 n. 1 (4th Cir. 2001).

We accordingly dismiss the petition for review. We deny Gonzalez-Gonzalez’s motion for stay of removal. 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 DISMISSED.
