PER CURIAM:

            Irfan Shoukat Goraia, a native and citizen of Pakistan,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (“Board”) upholding the immigration judge’s denial of his

motion for a continuance.       We have reviewed the record pertaining

to the denial of Goraia’s motion and find no abuse of discretion.

See Lendo v. Gonzales, ___ F.3d ___, ___, 2007 WL 1982038, *1 (4th

Cir.     July   10,    2007)   (setting     forth   standard   of   review).

Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated

by the Board.         See In re: Goraia, A79-745-803 (B.I.A. Dec. 11,

2006).    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
