PER CURIAM:
Qian Fan, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic
of China, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (Board) denying Fan’s second, identical motion
to reopen. We agree with the Board that the motion should be
construed as Fan’s second motion to reconsider. As such, it
exceeds the number limitations of 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(5)(A) (2000)
and 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(2) (2005). Even construing the motion as
a motion to reopen, it is beyond the ninety-day deadline of 8
U.S.C. § 1229a(6)(C)(i) (2000) and 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2) (2005).
Therefore, we conclude that the Board did not abuse its discretion
in denying the motion. 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2005); INS v.
Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323-24 (1992); Stewart v. INS, 181 F.3d 587,
595 (4th Cir. 1999). 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
