See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

          Kwaku Obeng, a native and citizen of Ghana, petitions for

review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”)

denying his motion to reopen immigration proceedings.         We review

the denial of a motion to reopen for abuse of discretion.         INS v.

Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323-24 (1992).       We have reviewed the record

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

discretion in denying the motion as untimely filed. See 8 U.S.C.A.

§   1229a(c)(7)(C)(I)   (West   1999    &    Supp.   2005);   8   C.F.R.

§ 1003.2(c)(2) (2006).     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
