PER CURIAM:

Stephen Kissi Owusu, a native and citizen of Ghana, 

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration 

Appeals (Board) denying his motion to reconsider its decision 

upholding the Immigration Judge’s decision denying his motion 

for a continuance and entering an order of removal. We have 

reviewed the administrative record and Owusu’s claims, and find 

them to be without merit. We accordingly find no abuse of 

discretion in the denial of reconsideration, see Narine v. 

Holder, 559 F.3d 246, 249 (4th Cir. 2009), and deny the petition 

for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re: 

Owusu (B.I.A. Apr. 20, 2015). 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
