PER CURIAM:

      Levi Rivera Martinez, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an

order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal from the

immigration judge's decision denying his motion to reopen and rescind his in absentia

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

find no abuse of discretion. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b) (2016). We therefore deny the

petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re Rivera Martinez (B.I.A.

Oct. 17, 2016). 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
