PER CURIAM:
Uche Amadi petitions for review of an order of the Board
of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying his motion to reconsider and
reopen. Having reviewed the decision of the Board and the
administrative record, we conclude that the Board did not abuse its
discretion in denying the motion to reconsider and reopen. 8
C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2004) (providing the grant or denial of a
motion to reopen or reconsider is within the Board’s discretion);
INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323-24 (1992); Stewart v. INS, 181
F.3d 587, 595, 596 (4th Cir. 1999). Therefore, 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
