PER CURIAM: Muhammad Salim Adnan Kakar, a native and citizen of Pakistan, petitions for review of an order of the Board of

Immigration Appeals ("Board") denying his motion to reconsider its prior order, which adopted and affirmed the immigration judge's denial of his request 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 See In re: Kakar, No. A72-166-826

reasons stated by the Board.

(B.I.A. Dec. 27, 2005). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal before contentions the court are and adequately argument presented not in aid the the

materials

would

decisional process. PETITION DENIED
