Petitioner,

versus

JOHN ASHCROFT, Attorney General,

Respondent.

On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. (A75-836-158)

Submitted: August 18, 2004 Decided: September 15, 2004

Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

David Goren, LAW OFFICE OF DAVID GOREN, Silver Spring, Maryland, for Petitioner. Peter D. Keisler, Assistant Attorney General, David V. Bernal, Assistant Director, Ernesto H. Molina, Senior Litigation Counsel, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Kolawole I. Awoyemi, a native and citizen of Nigeria,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reopen and to reconsider

its previous order affirming 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 Awoyemi’s motion. See

(a) (2004). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review

on the reasoning of the Board. See In re: Awoyemi, No. A75-836-158

(B.I.A. Jan. 15, 2004). 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
