PER CURIAM:
Brook Mengesha, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, petitions
for review from the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“Board”) order
denying his motion to reconsider. We have reviewed the
administrative record and the Board’s order and find that the Board
did not abuse its discretion in denying Mengesha’s motion to
reconsider. 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: Mengesha, No.
A29-919-156 (B.I.A. Sept. 9, 2002). 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
