Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Nan Chen, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic
of China, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying a motion to reconsider a
prior order affirming the immigration judge’s denial of his
requests 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 Chen, No. A97-744-753
(B.I.A. July 14, 2006). 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
