PER CURIAM:
Tesfaye Teferi, a native and citizen of Ethiopia,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (Board). The order denied his motion to reconsider the
Board’s denial of his motion to reopen. We have reviewed the
record and the Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse
its discretion in denying Teferi’s motion to reconsider. See 8
C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2004). Accordingly, we deny the petition for
review on the reasoning of the Board. See In re: Teferi, No.
A76-898-259 (BIA Feb. 17, 2004). 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
