Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

Kedir Essa Mudessir, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals denying his motion to reopen and reconsider. * Based on our review of the record, we find that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reopen as untimely. 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a), (c) (2008). To the extent that Mudessir claims that the time limitation should have been equitably tolled on the ground that he received ineffective assistance of counsel, we find this claim foreclosed in light of our recent decision in Afanwi v. Mulcasey, 526 F.3d 788, 796-99 (4th Cir. 2008) (holding that there is no constitutional right under the Fifth Amendment to effective assistance of counsel in removal proceedings). Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. We also deny the pending motion for remand. 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.
