1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
Petitioner-appellant José Costa, a forty-five-year-old Cape Verdean who has no known criminal record, claims that he was eligible to apply for suspension of deportation, but that the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) incorrectly refused to rec■ognize that fact. In the alternative, he claims that the BIA erred by failing to treat him as eligible for suspension of deportation on the basis of equitable estop-pel. Finding his arguments unconvincing, we deny his petition for review.
