PER CURIAM:
Muhammad Salim Adnan Kakar, a native and citizen of
Pakistan, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reconsider its
prior order, which adopted and affirmed the immigration judge’s
denial of his request 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: Kakar, No. A72-166-826
(B.I.A. Dec. 27, 2005). 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
