PER CURIAM:
Miguel Adalberto Ponce-Arbaiza, a native and citizen of El Salvador, 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 Ponce-Arbaiza’s claims and
find no abuse of discretion. See Williams v. Garland, 59 F.4th 620, 632 (4th Cir. 2023)
(stating standard of review). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. See In re
Ponce-Arbaiza (B.I.A. Dec. 7, 2022). 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
