PER CURIAM:
Everton Anthony Surgeon, a native and citizen of
Jamaica, seeks review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (Board) denying his motions to reopen and reconsider.
We have reviewed the administrative record and Surgeon’s claims
and find that the claims are without merit. See Afanwi v.
Mukasey, 526 F.3d 788 (4th Cir. 2008) (holding that there is no
constitutional right under the Fifth Amendment to effective
assistance of counsel in removal proceedings). We accordingly
deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the
Board. See In re: Surgeon (B.I.A. Mar. 18, 2008). 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
