PER CURIAM:
Ashraf Abdul Jaber Ali, a native of Kuwait and citizen of Jordan, petitions for
review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal
from the immigration judge’s denial of his request for a continuance. We have
thoroughly reviewed the record and conclude that the denial of a continuance was not an
abuse of discretion. See Lendo v. Gonzales, 493 F.3d 439, 441 (4th Cir. 2007) (stating
standard of review). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated
by the Board. In re Ali (B.I.A. Mar. 3, 2017). We also deny Ali’s motion to file an
attachment to his brief. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(1), (b)(4)(A) (2012). We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
