PER CURIAM:
Yassir Mahmoudi, a native and citizen of Morocco,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (“Board”) dismissing his appeal from the immigration
judge’s denial of his motion for a continuance. We have
reviewed the record and find no abuse of discretion. See
Lendo v. Gonzales, 493 F.3d 439, 441 (4th Cir. 2007) (setting
forth standard of review). We further find that Mahmoudi cannot
demonstrate a violation of his due process rights as he fails to
show the requisite prejudice. See Anim v. Mukasey, 535 F.3d
243, 256 (4th Cir. 2008). Accordingly, we deny the petition for
review substantially for the reasons stated by the Board. See
In re: Mahmoudi (B.I.A. June 17, 2011). 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
