PER CURIAM:
Amos Zeith Benka Coker, a native and citizen of Sierra Leone, petitions for review
of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing his appeal from the
immigration judge’s decision on the ground that Coker waived his right to appeal. Upon
review of the record, we agree with the Board’s holding that Coker’s administrative
appellate waiver was knowing and intelligent and, thus, valid. Accordingly, we deny the
petition for review, see In re Coker (B.I.A. Apr. 6, 2023), and deny Coker’s motion to
appoint counsel. 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
