PER CURIAM:
Ulisses M. Bastos, a native and citizen of Brazil,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reopen and remand to the
immigration judge to apply for asylum based upon changed
circumstances. We have reviewed the administrative record and the
Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion.
See INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323-24 (1992). Accordingly, we
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
