PER CURIAM:
Richard Maina Kihara, a native and citizen of Kenya, petitions for review of an
order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying his motion to reopen. We
have reviewed the administrative record and Kihara’s claims, and conclude that the
Board did not abuse its discretion in denying his motion. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a)
(2017); Mosere v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 397, 400 (4th Cir. 2009). Accordingly, we deny
the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re Kihara (B.I.A.
Jan. 4, 2017). 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
