PER CURIAM:

            Adesola Ayoola Oni, a native and citizen of Nigeria,

seeks review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals

affirming without opinion the decision of the Immigration Judge

denying    his   request      for    a   continuance.        We   have     carefully

reviewed the record and conclude that the decision to deny a

continuance      was    not   an    abuse   of    discretion.       See    8    C.F.R.

§ 1003.29 (2008); Onyeme v. INS, 146 F.3d 227, 231 (4th Cir.

1998).     We    accordingly        deny    the   petition    for   review.        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
