PER CURIAM:

           Kasangisha Papy Kabangu, a native and citizen of the

Democratic Republic of Congo, petitions for review of an order of

the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to

reconsider    its   prior     order,    which    adopted      and   affirmed   the

immigration judge’s denial of his request for asylum, withholding

of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture.

We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find that the

Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to

reconsider. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2006); Jean v. Gonzales, 435

F.3d 475, 481 (4th Cir. 2006).          Accordingly, we deny the petition

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

Kabangu, No. A96-282-521 (B.I.A. Nov. 29, 2005).               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

                                       - 2 -
