PER CURIAM:

       Ochigbo Sunday Ameh, a native and citizen of Nigeria, petitions for review of an

order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) upholding the Immigration Judge’s

decision denying his motion for a continuance. We have reviewed the record and Ameh’s

claims and find no abuse of discretion. See Lendo v. Gonzales, 493 F.3d 439, 441 (4th Cir.

2007); Onyeme v. INS, 146 F.3d 227, 231 (4th Cir. 1998). In addition, we find Ameh’s

contention that the Board’s decision was unlawfully issued to be without merit. We

therefore deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. In re Ameh

(B.I.A. July 11, 2019). 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
