PER CURIAM:

              Michael Zeferu Weldetensaye, a native and citizen of

Ethiopia,     petitions   for   review     of   an   order   of    the    Board    of

Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reconsider.

We have reviewed the administrative record and the Board’s order

and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying

the motion.      See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2010); Narine v. Holder,

559 F.3d 246, 249 (4th Cir. 2009) (setting forth standard of

review).       We therefore deny the petition for review for the

reasons stated by the Board.             See In re: Weldetensaye (B.I.A.

Aug. 16, 2010).         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
