PER CURIAM:
Nadeem Ur Rashid Shami, a native and citizen of
Pakistan, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (Board) upholding the Immigration Judge’s
(IJ) denial of his motion for a continuance. We have reviewed
the record pertaining to the denial of Shami’s motion and find
no abuse of discretion. See Lendo v. Gonzales, 493 F.3d 439,
441 (4th Cir. 2007) (setting forth standard of review).
Further, Shami’s claim that the Board and IJ acted contrary to
regulation, and his assertion that he was denied due process,
are belied by the record and without merit. Accordingly, we
deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the
Board. See In re: Shami (B.I.A. June 30, 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
