    PER CURIAM:
    Everton    Anthony    Surgeon,     a     native    and    citizen     of
    Jamaica, seeks review of an order of the Board of Immigration
    Appeals (Board) denying his motions to reopen and reconsider.
    We have reviewed the administrative record and Surgeon’s claims
    and find that the claims are without merit.                       See Afanwi v.
    Mukasey, 
    526 F.3d 788
     (4th Cir. 2008) (holding that there is no
    constitutional    right    under    the      Fifth    Amendment       to   effective
    assistance of counsel in removal proceedings).                    We accordingly
    deny   the   petition    for    review    for   the   reasons     stated      by   the
    Board.   See In re: Surgeon (B.I.A. Mar. 18, 2008).                    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
