PER CURIAM:
Mohamed Alphe Sow, a native and citizen of Sierra
Leone, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reconsider
its prior order upholding the immigration judge’s denial of his
motion to reopen immigration proceedings. We have reviewed the
record and the Board’s order and find that the Board did not
abuse its discretion in denying the motion. See 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(a) (2011). Accordingly, we deny the petition for
review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Sow
(B.I.A. Jan. 4, 2011). 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
