OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Lauren Anne Wetzler, Assistant
United States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

              Yves G. Wantou Deugoue appeals the district court’s

order granting Defendants’ motion to dismiss this civil action

to   compel     adjudication       of    an       application      for   adjustment         of

status.       We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.      Accordingly, we affirm substantially for the reasons

stated by the district court.                 Deugoue v. Chertoff, No. 1:08-cv-

01279-CMH-IDD      (E.D.    Va.    May    15,       2009);   see    Fed.       R.    Civ.   P.

12(b)(1).       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.

                                                                                     AFFIRMED
