PER CURIAM:
Ousman M. Sillah, a native and citizen of Gambia,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (Board) denying as untimely 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 the motion to reopen. See INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314,
323-24 (1992); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(4)(ii) (2006). Accordingly,
we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the
Board. See In Re: Sillah, No. A72-000-231 (B.I.A. June 3, 2005).
We deny Sillah’s Motion for Stay of Proceedings and 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
