PER CURIAM: Min Bahadur Thapa, and dependent petitioners Shiv Kumari Paija and Ramesh Thapa, natives and citizens of Nepal, petition for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying their 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 the motion to reopen. See INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323-24 (1992). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In Re: Thapa, Nos. A95-886-496, 497, 498 (B.I.A. Nov. 3, 2005). 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
