PER CURIAM:
Levi Rivera Martinez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an
order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal from the
immigration judge's decision denying his motion to reopen and rescind his in absentia
removal order. We have reviewed the administrative record and the Board’s order and
find no abuse of discretion. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b) (2016). We therefore deny the
petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re Rivera Martinez (B.I.A.
Oct. 17, 2016). 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
