PER CURIAM:

      Ashraf Abdul Jaber Ali, a native of Kuwait and citizen of Jordan, petitions for

review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal

from the immigration judge’s denial of his request for a continuance.            We have

thoroughly reviewed the record and conclude that the denial of a continuance was not an

abuse of discretion. See Lendo v. Gonzales, 493 F.3d 439, 441 (4th Cir. 2007) (stating

standard of review). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated

by the Board. In re Ali (B.I.A. Mar. 3, 2017). We also deny Ali’s motion to file an

attachment to his brief. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(1), (b)(4)(A) (2012). 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
