PER CURIAM:
Jose Antonio Orellana-Portillo, a native and citizen of El
Salvador, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“Board”). The order dismissed his appeal and
affirmed the immigration judge’s order denying his motion to reopen
deportation proceedings under the Nicaraguan and Central American
Relief Act of 1997. We have reviewed the record and the Board’s
order and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion in
denying Orellana-Portillo’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: Portillo, No. A29-554-808 (B.I.A. Oct. 29,
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
