PER CURIAM:
Richard Asare, a native and citizen of Ghana, petitions for
review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board)
denying Asare’s motion to reconsider its decision upholding the
Immigration Judge’s denial of his motion for a continuance. We
have reviewed the administrative record and Asare’s claims, and
find them to be without merit. We accordingly find no abuse of
discretion in the denial of reconsideration, see Narine v.
Holder, 559 F.3d 246, 249 (4th Cir. 2009), and deny the petition
for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re Asare
(B.I.A. Mar. 31, 2016). 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
