PER CURIAM:
Shi Hui Zheng, a native and citizen of the People’s
Republic of China, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals adopting and affirming the immigration judge’s
denial of his motion to reopen removal proceedings. This court’s
review of the denial of a motion to reopen is extremely
deferential, and the decision will not be reversed absent abuse of
discretion. Barry v. Gonzales, 445 F.3d 741, 744-45 (4th Cir.
2006). Motions to reopen are disfavored. INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S.
314, 323 (1992). We find no abuse of discretion in the immigration
judge’s conclusion that Zheng failed to establish exceptional
circumstances warranting reopening. See 8 U.S.C.A.
§ 1229a(b)(5)(C)(I), (e)(1) (West 2005 & Supp. 2006). Accordingly,
we deny Zheng’s motion for stay as moot and deny the petition for
review. 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
