Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

1Opinion of the Court

TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge.

Petitioner Radcliffe Davis petitions this court to review a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) affirming an Immigration Judge’s (“IJ”) decision that Davis did not enter into his marriage to Nadine Woodley Davis (“Woodley”) in good faith, but rather for the sole purpose of circumventing immigration laws. He also contends that the BIA erred when it refused to remand the proceedings to the IJ given his recent marriage to another United States citizen. For the reasons that follow, we deny the petition.
