United States Seventh Circuit

A Nigerian citizen's petition for review of the BIA's denial of his motion to reconsider its decision affirming the IJ's determination that the petitioner abandoned his opportunity to pursue asylum and related relief is denied as the immigration judge did not abuse her discretion in denying a continuance and finding that petitioner had abandoned his application for failure to comply with the fingerprinting requirements. Furthermore, petitioner's failure to timely file documentary evidence adds further support to the conclusion.
