PER CURIAM:

           Koyo Victorien Wawa and Gouhounou Emma Wawa are natives

and citizens of the Ivory Coast.      They seek review of an order of

the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) denying their second

motion to reopen, filed pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii)

(2005); see 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(6)(C)(ii) (2000).             The Wawas’

petition for review is timely only as to the Board’s September 3,

2004   order   denying   reopening.   8   U.S.C.   §   1252(b)(1)   (2000)

(petition for review must be filed within thirty days of final

order of removal); see Stone v. INS, 514 U.S. 386, 394-95 (1995)

(holding order of removal and denial of motion to reconsider are

separate final orders, each subject to relevant time limit for

seeking review).

           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 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2005).      Therefore, we

deny the petition for review.         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
