Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit·Decided September 27, 2013·No. No. 13-1412·Published

Opinion

Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Adedokun Idowu Adekoya, a native and citizen of Nigeria, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying his motion to reconsider. The Board “enjoys broad discretion to grant or deny a motion to reconsider,” Jean v. Gonzales, 435 F.3d 475, 483 (4th Cir.2006); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2013). This court reviews a denial of a motion to reconsider for abuse of discretion. Jean, 435 F.3d at 481.

We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find no abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. In re: Adekoya (B.I.A. Feb. 25, 2013). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED.
