PER CURIAM:

Alfred Ayitey Adjin, a native and citizen of Ghana, 

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration 

Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal from the immigration 

judge’s denial of his motion for a continuance and denying 

Adjin’s motion for administrative closure. We have reviewed the 

record and find no abuse of discretion. We further find that

Adjin cannot demonstrate a violation of his due process rights 

as he fails to show the requisite prejudice. See Anim v. 

Mukasey, 535 F.3d 243, 256 (4th Cir. 2008). Accordingly, we 

deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the 

Board. See In re Adjin (B.I.A. Aug. 19, 2015). 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
