PER CURIAM:
Francis Daniel Owens, a native and citizen of The
Gambia, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing his appeal from the
immigration judge’s denial of his motion to reopen immigration
proceedings. We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order
and find no abuse of discretion. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(3)
(2012). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the
reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Owens (B.I.A. Dec. 20,
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
