Mengistu v. Ashcroft

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Dawit Mengistu, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, petitions for review of a final order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) affirming without opinion the Immigration Judge’s denial of his motion to reopen removal proceedings. We have reviewed the administrative record and find no abuse of discretion in the refusal to grant the motion to reopen. See Stewart v. INS, 181 F.3d 587, 595 (4th Cir. 1999); 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(e)(1) (2000).

Accordingly, we deny the petition 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.

PETITION DENIED
