PER CURIAM:

           Jianbin Zhang, a native and citizen of China, 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 request

for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the

Convention Against Torture.            We have reviewed the record and the

Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion

in denying the motion to reconsider.             See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a)

(2005); Jean v. Gonzales, 435 F.3d 475, 481 (4th Cir. 2006).

Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated

by the Board.       See In re: Zhang, No. A97-635-244 (B.I.A. Feb. 27,

2006).   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
