PER CURIAM:

            Abalo   Mawaki   Aliti,    a    native   and   citizen    of   Togo,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reconsider its prior order,

which adopted and affirmed the immigration judge’s denial of his

requests for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under

the Convention Against Torture.            We have reviewed the record and

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

motion to reconsider.        See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2006); Jean v.

Gonzales, 

, 481 (4th Cir. 2006).            Accordingly, we 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
