PER CURIAM:
Ibrahim Ahmed Sharak petitions for review of an order of
the Board of Immigration Appeals adopting and affirming the
immigration judge’s orders denying asylum and denying his motion to
reconsider.
Sharak disputes the immigration judge’s finding that he
was firmly resettled in the United Arab Emirates. We have reviewed
the administrative record and find no error in the immigration
judge’s conclusion that Sharak was firmly resettled and thus
ineligible for asylum. See 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(2)(A)(vi) (2000);
Mussie v. INS, 172 F.3d 329, 331-32 (4th Cir. 1999). As the firm
resettlement bar to asylum applies, Sharak is unable to establish
any grounds that would warrant reconsideration.
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. 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
