PER CURIAM:

       Richard Maina Kihara, a native and citizen of Kenya, petitions for review of an

order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying his motion to reopen. We

have reviewed the administrative record and Kihara’s claims, and conclude that the

Board did not abuse its discretion in denying his motion. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a)

(2017); Mosere v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 397, 400 (4th Cir. 2009). Accordingly, we deny

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

Jan. 4, 2017). 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
