PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated petitions for review, Abraham
Lalawi, a native and citizen of Indonesia who claims he is a
Christian of Chinese ethnicity, seeks review of orders issued by
the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying his motion to
reopen removal proceedings (No. 04-2518) and denying his motion to
reconsider that order (No. 05-1154). We have reviewed the
administrative record and conclude the Board did not abuse its
discretion in denying Lalawi’s motions. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a),
(b) (2005).
We accordingly deny the petitions 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.
