v.

ERIC H. HOLDER, JR., Attorney General,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals.

Submitted: May 4, 2011 Decided: May 10, 2011

Before DUNCAN, AGEE, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

David Allen Garfield, GARFIELD LAW GROUP LLP, Washington, D.C., for Petitioner. Tony West, Assistant Attorney General, Jennifer Levings, Senior Litigation Counsel, Kristen Giuffreda Chapman, Office of Immigration Litigation, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Michael Zeferu Weldetensaye, a native and citizen of

Ethiopia, petitions for review of an order of the Board of

Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reconsider.

We have reviewed the administrative record and the Board’s order

and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying

the motion. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2010); Narine v. Holder,

559 F.3d 246, 249 (4th Cir. 2009) (setting forth standard of

review). We therefore deny the petition for review for the

reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Weldetensaye (B.I.A.

Aug. 16, 2010). 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
