Iftekhar Uddin Ahmed, a native and citizen of Bangladesh, petitions for review of a *299 final order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying relief on his motion to reopen removal proceedings following the issuance of a removal order in absentia. We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find no abuse of discretion in the Board’s denial of relief. See Stewart v. INS, 181 F.3d 587, 595 (4th Cir. 1999); Sharma v. INS, 89 F.3d 545, 546-48 (9th Cir. 1996); 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(e)(l) (2000).

We accordingly 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.
