Petitioner,

versus

ALBERTO R. GONZALES,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. (A97-744-753)

Submitted: December 15, 2006 Decided: January 5, 2007

Before KING and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Nan Chen, Petitioner Pro Se. Carol Federighi, Daniel Eric Goldman, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Nan Chen, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic

of China, petitions for review of an order of the Board of

Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying a motion to reconsider a

prior order affirming 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

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

discretion in denying the motion to reconsider. See

(a) (2006); Jean v. Gonzales,

, 481 (4th Cir.

2006). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the

reasons stated by the Board. See In re Chen, No. A97-744-753

(B.I.A. July 14, 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
