Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Salem Jabri seeks review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’

(“Board”) decision and order affirming the immigration judge’s

denial of his motion to reopen deportation proceedings. On

petition for review, Jabri argues that the Board erred in its

determination that Jabri failed to demonstrate seven years of con-

tinuous physical presence in the United States. Our review of the

record discloses that the Board properly affirmed the immigration

judge’s decision and that this appeal is without merit. According-

ly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board. See In re: Salem

Jabri, No. A29-005-735 (B.I.A. May 18, 1999); see also Appiah v.

INS,

(4th Cir. 2000). 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.

AFFIRMED
