Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
LESLIE H. SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judge:
Ronaldo De Lima Marques lawfully entered the United States in August 2001 on a nonimmigrant visa. He married a United States citizen in 2005. On the basis of his marriage, Marques adjusted his status to that of a legal permanent resident. Marques’s marriage was a sham, though. Accordingly, the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) held Marques removable. We GRANT Marques’s petition for review of the BIA’s order of removal and VACATE the BIA’s judgment. We DENY as MOOT Marques’s petition for review of the BIA’s decision denying a motion to reopen.
