See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

           Sekouba Faty, a native and citizen of Mali, 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 Faty’s motion to reopen.

See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2004); INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314,

323-24 (1992).    As found by the Board, the new documents submitted

by Faty fail to resolve the credibility problems that were present

at his immigration hearing and fail to establish his eligibility

for   asylum,   withholding   of    removal,   or   protection   under   the

Convention Against Torture.        Accordingly, 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
