Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Ozo Obadiah Nwabuoku, a native and citizen of Nigeria,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reopen immigration
proceedings. We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and
find that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying
Nwabuoku’s motion to reopen as untimely. See 8 U.S.C.A.
§ 1229a(c)(7)(C)(i) (West 2005 & Supp. 2006); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a)
(2006). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the
reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Nwabuoku, No. A70-310-741
(B.I.A. Feb. 14, 2006). We also deny Nwabuoku’s pending motion for
appointment of counsel. 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
