Decided August 14, 2009
Before Feinberg, Newman and Katzmann, CJJ.**

Petition for review of a decision and order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) affirming the Immigration Judge’s conclusion that Rotimi is statutorily ineligible for a waiver of inadmissibility and dismissing Rotimi’s appeal. Because we hold that the BIA’s interpretation of §212(h) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. §1182(h), is reasonable, the petition for review is DENIED.

Judge Newman concurs in a separate opinion.
