PER CURIAM:
Nan Chen, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic of
China, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying a motion to reconsider
a prior order affirming the immigration judge’s denial of
his requests for asylum, withholding of removal, and
protection under the Convention Against Torture. We have
reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find that the
Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to
reconsider. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (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 Chen, No.
A97-744-753 (B.I.A. July 14, 2006). 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
