Koffi Kpognon, a native and citizen of Togo, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying 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 Kpognon’s motion to reopen as untimely. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2006). We conclude that Kpognon’s equitable tolling argument was not administratively exhausted and is therefore not properly before the court. 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1) (2000) (“A court may review a final order of removal only if the alien has exhausted all administrative remedies available.... ”); Asika v. Ashcroft, 362 F.3d 264, 267 n. 3 (4th Cir. 2004) (holding court lacks jurisdiction to consider a claim that was not raised before the Board and was therefore not exhausted under § 1252(d)(1)). * Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re: Kpognon, No. A76-781-031 (B.I.A. Nov. 29, 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
