PER CURIAM:
Abalo Mawaki Aliti, a native and citizen of Togo,
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
requests for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under
the Convention Against Torture. We have reviewed the record 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. 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
