PER CURIAM:

Jonas Okwuchukwu Okwara, a native and citizen of Nigeria, 

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration 

Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal from the Immigration 

Judge’s denial of his motion to reopen as untimely and 

numerically barred. We have reviewed the administrative record 

and the Board’s order and find no abuse of discretion. See 8 

C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(1) (2015). We therefore deny the petition 

for review for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re: 

Okwara (B.I.A. Apr. 8, 2015). We dispense with oral argument 

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented 

in the materials before this court and argument would not aid 

the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
