PER CURIAM:
Kolawole I. Awoyemi, a native and citizen of Nigeria,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reopen and to reconsider
its previous order affirming the immigration judge’s denial of 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 Awoyemi’s motion. See 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(a) (2004). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review
on the reasoning of the Board. See In re: Awoyemi, No. A75-836-158
(B.I.A. Jan. 15, 2004). 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
