Toyin SARUMI, Petitioner, v. Alberto R. GONZALES, Respondent, 231 F. App'x 254

PER CURIAM: Toyin Sarumi, a native and citizen of Nigeria, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing his appeal from the immigration judge’s order denying his requests for adjustment of status and voluntary departure and ordering his removal to Nigeria. Because Sarumi failed to raise any issues pertaining to the propriety of the denial of his requests for adjustment of status or voluntary departure in the argument

section of his brief, we find that he has failed to preserve any issues for review. See Fed. R.App. P. 28(a)(9)(A) (“[T]he argument ... must contain ... appellant’s contentions and the reasons for them, with citations to the authorities and parts of the record on which the appellant relies.”); Edwards v. City of Goldsboro, 178 F.3d 231, 241 n. 6 (4th Cir.1999) (“Failure to comply with the specific dictates of [Rule 28] with respect to a particular claim triggers abandonment of that claim on appeal.”). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In Re: Sarumi, No.

A70-306499 (B.I.A. Aug. 4, 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.
