PER CURIAM:
Charles Nchaw Ndah, 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
Ndah 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: Ndah (B.I.A. May 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
