Hunt, Assistant Attorney General, Leslie McKay, Senior Litigation Counsel, Shahrzad Baghai, Office of Immigration Litigation, Civil Division, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Jonas Okwuchukwu Okwara, a native and citizen of Nigeria, 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 Okwara’s claims and conclude that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a), (b)(1) (2019); Narine v. Holder, 559 F.3d 246, 249 (4th Cir. 2009); Jean v. Gonzales, 435 F.3d 475, 481, 483 (4th Cir. 2006). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re Okwara (B.I.A. Feb. 21, 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.
