petitions

for

Adekoya,
review

of

a

native

an

order

and
of

citizen

the

Board

of
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.
(B.I.A. Feb. 25, 2013).

In re: Adekoya

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
