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-cv01279-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
