Niang v. Holder

Petitioner Gade Niang, a native and citizen of Senegal, seeks review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) affirming an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) denial of his application for adjustment of status based on a finding that Niang was ineligible for all relief for having filed a frivolous asylum application. Because Niang received adequate notice of the consequences of filing a frivolous application through the written warning on the asylum application, we conclude that the agency did not err in denying his adjustment application, and we deny the petition for review.
