UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 03-1528

PIERRE ANTOINE GOHO,

Petitioner,

versus

JOHN ASHCROFT, Attorney General of the United States,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. (A70-795-700)

Submitted: November 19, 2003 Decided: December 3, 2003

Before WIDENER, WILKINSON, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Allan Ebert, LAW OFFICES OF ALLAN EBERT, Washington, D.C., for Petitioner. Peter D. Keisler, Assistant Attorney General, Earle B. Wilson, Senior Litigation Counsel, Carol Federighi, Office of Immigration Litigation, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Pierre Antoine Goho, a native and citizen of the Ivory Coast,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings.

We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find that the

Board did not abuse its discretion in denying Goho’s motion to

reopen. See

8 C.F.R. § 1003.2

(a) (2003); INS v. Doherty,

502 U.S. 314, 323-24

(1992). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review

on the reasoning of the Board. See In re: Goho, No. A70-795-700

(B.I.A. Apr. 2, 2003). 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.
