PER CURIAM:

       Antonio Jose Zambrano Reyes, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review

of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals denying his motion to reopen and

reconsider. We have reviewed the administrative record and Zambrano Reyes’ claims and

conclude that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying his motion. See 8 C.F.R.

§ 1003.2(a) (2019); Mosere v. Mukasey, 552 F.3d 397, 400 (4th Cir. 2009). Accordingly,

we deny the petition for review substantially for the reasons stated by the Board. *

In re Zambrano Reyes (B.I.A. Oct. 11, 2018). 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

       *
        Even if we assume that Zambrano Reyes’ motion was timely filed under 8 U.S.C.
§ 1229a(c)(7)(C)(iv) (2012), the Board provided substantive reasoning for denying the
motion. Because this reasoning was not “arbitrary, irrational, or contrary to law” Mosere,
552 F.3d at 400 (internal quotation marks omitted), we find no abuse of discretion.

                                            2
