PER CURIAM:

     Pierre Antoine Goho, a native and citizen of the Ivory Coast,

petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration

Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings.

We have reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find that the

Board did not abuse its discretion in denying Goho’s motion to

reopen.   See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2003); INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S.

314, 323-24 (1992).      Accordingly, we deny the petition for review

on the reasoning of the Board.         See In re: Goho, No. A70-795-700

(B.I.A. Apr. 2, 2003).       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
