PER CURIAM:
Aloysius Tabe Bisong, a native and citizen of
Cameroon, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reconsider.
Because Bisong fails to raise any arguments that meaningfully
challenge the propriety of the Board’s denial of his motion to
reconsider in the argument section of his brief, we find that he
has failed to preserve any issues for review. See Fed. R. App.
P. 28(a)(9)(A) (“[T]he argument . . . must contain . . .
appellant’s contentions and the reasons for them, with citations
to the authorities and parts of the record on which the
appellant relies.”); Edwards v. City of Goldsboro, 178 F.3d 231,
241 n.6 (4th Cir. 1999) (“Failure to comply with the specific
dictates of [Rule 28] with respect to a particular claim
triggers abandonment of that claim on appeal.”). Accordingly,
we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the
Board. See In re: Bisong (B.I.A. Oct. 31, 2011). 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
