PER CURIAM:
Haile-Eyesus Asmerew Endeshaw, a native and citizen of
Ethiopia, petitions this court for review of a final order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying relief on his motions
to reopen removal proceedings and for reconsideration following the
issuance of a removal order in absentia. We have reviewed the
administrative record and Board’s order and find no abuse of dis-
cretion in the Board’s denial of relief. See Stewart v. INS, 181
F.3d 587, 595 (4th Cir. 1999); In re J-P-, Int. Dec. 3348 (BIA
1998); 8 U.S.C.A. § 1229a(e)(1) (West 1999).
We accordingly affirm the Board’s order. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
