PER CURIAM:
Pierre Antoine Goho, a native and citizen of the Ivory Coast,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings.
We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find that the
Board did not abuse its discretion in denying Goho’s motion to
reopen. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2003); INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S.
314, 323-24 (1992). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review
on the reasoning of the Board. See In re: Goho, No. A70-795-700
(B.I.A. Apr. 2, 2003). 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
