PER CURIAM:
Michael Nwosu, a native and citizen of Nigeria, petitions
for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
(“Board”) denying his motion to reconsider its prior order, which
adopted and affirmed the immigration judge’s denial of his requests
for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the
Convention Against Torture. The Board’s prior order also denied
Nwosu’s motion to remand the case to the immigration judge. We
have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find that the
Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to
reconsider. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2006); Jean v. Gonzales, 435
F.3d 475, 481 (4th Cir. 2006). Accordingly, we deny the petition
for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In Re: Nwosu,
No. A78-953-657 (B.I.A. Aug. 24, 2005). 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.
PETITION DENIED
