PER CURIAM:
Sergio Gamez-Ruiz, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an order
of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying his motion to reopen. We review a
decision denying reopening for abuse of discretion and will grant the petition only if the
Board’s decision is “arbitrary, capricious, or contrary to law.” Garcia Hernandez v.
Garland, 27 F.4th 263, 266 (4th Cir. 2022) (internal quotation marks omitted). We have
reviewed the administrative record and Gamez-Ruiz’s claims and find no abuse of
discretion. Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. See In re Gamez-Ruiz (B.I.A.
Dec. 4, 2023). 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
