PER CURIAM:
Kasangisha Papy Kabangu, a native and citizen of the
Democratic Republic of Congo, 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 request for asylum, withholding
of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture.
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:
Kabangu, No. A96-282-521 (B.I.A. Nov. 29, 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
