United States Court of Appeals,

Dec. 4, 1984.

Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals.
Before GODBOLD, Chief Judge, KRAVITCH and HATCHETT, Circuit
Judges.
PER CURIAM:
3 matters little that an alien is admitted as a crewman and deserts his ship, or that
[I]t
he deserted the ship without being permitted to land as a crewman, or that he, as is
commonplace, was brought to the United States as a passenger or workaway to
reship as a seaman on another vessel.
4
We believe that the respondent is barred from [section 244] relief because he
entered in pursuit of his calling as a seaman. That he entered by reason of his
occupation is clear from his testimony which shows he entered the United
States to ship out as a seaman.
AFFIRMED.
