DISCUSSION: 
 The employment-based immigrant visa petition was denied by the Director, Texas 
Service Center. The director reaffirmed that decision on motion. The matter is now before the 
Administrative Appeals Office on appeal. The appeal will be summarily dismissed. 
The petitioner seeks classification as an "alien of extraordinary ability" in athletics, pursuant to section 
203(b)(l)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 5 1153(b)(l)(A). The director 
determined the petitioner had not established the sustained national or international acclaim necessary 
to qualify for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability. Thus, on February 1 1,2009, the director 
denied the petition. On March 16, 2009, the petitioner filed a Motion to Reopen and Reconsider. The 
motion was accompanied by a March 12, 2009 brief and additional evidence. In a detailed written 
decision addressing the March 16, 2009 submission, the director reaffirmed the previous denial on 
March 30,2009. 
The petitioner filed the instant appeal on April 29, 2009. On the Form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or 
Motion, counsel states that a brief and additional evidence are attached. Counsel resubmits the March 
12, 2009 brief. This brief is identical to the brief submitted on motion and even bears the same date, 
March 12, 2009. Counsel also resubmits the documentation that accompanied the previous motion. 
Counsel fails to address the director's March 30,2009 decision. 
As stated in 8 C.F.R. 
 103.3(a)(l)(v), an appeal shall be summarily dismissed if the party concerned 
fails to identi@ specifically any erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact for the appeal. 
Counsel here has not specifically addressed the reasons stated for reaffirming the denial and has not 
provided new additional evidence. The appeal must therefore be summarily dismissed. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
