   MEMORANDUM

Balihar Singh-Kaur, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reopen his deportation proceedings. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a). Kalaw v. INS, 133 F.3d 1147, 1150 (9th Cir.1997). We review for abuse of discretion, Celis-Castellano v. Ashcroft, 298 F.3d 888, 890 (9th Cir.2002), and we deny the petition for review.

The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Singh-Kaur’s motion to reopen because, in light of the adverse credibility finding in his underlying asylum, withholding of deportation, and Convention Against Torture proceedings, Singh-Kaur could not demonstrate prima facie eligibility for relief. See INS v. Abudu, 485 U.S. 94, 105, 108, 108 S.Ct. 904, 99 L.Ed.2d 90 (1988).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
