PER CURIAM:

           Olga Pankina, a native of the former Soviet Republic and

a stateless citizen, and her husband, Dmitrijs Hohlovs, a native

and citizen of Latvia, petition for review of an order of the Board

of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying their motion to reopen*

their immigration proceedings. We have reviewed the record and the

Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion

in denying the Petitioners’ motion.     See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a)

(2007); INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323-24 (1992).   Accordingly,

we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the

Board.   See In Re: Pankina, Nos. A95-450-025; A95-450-026 (B.I.A.

Nov. 21, 2006).   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

     *
      Although the Petitioners filed their motion as a “motion for
reconsideration,” the Board properly found that the motion was in
substance a motion to reopen.
