Nan Chen, Petitioner Pro Se. Carol Federighi, Daniel Eric Goldman, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

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 See In re Chen, No. A97-744-753

reasons stated by the Board.

(B.I.A. July 14, 2006). 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.
