PER CURIAM:

Marek Budnik, a native of Poland and a citizen of Germany,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“Board”) affirming the immigration
judge’s order denying his motion to reconsider its prior
order, which denied his application for a waiver of
inadmissibility under section 212(h) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act. We have reviewed the record and the
Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse its
discretion in affirming the decision of the immigration
judge. See 8 U.S.C.A. § 1229a(c)(6) (West 2005); 8
C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(2) (2006); Jean v. Gonzales, 435
F.3d 475, 481 (4th Cir. 2006). Accordingly, we deny the
petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board.
See In re: Budnik, No. A73-554-240 (B.I.A. Nov. 30, 2005).
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
