PER CURIAM:

           Jean Dider Mbokoso Lokayi, a native and citizen of the

Democratic Republic of the Congo, 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 no abuse of discretion.    See 8 C.F.R.

§ 1003.2(a) (2005); 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: Lokayi, No. A78-340-493 (B.I.A. Jan. 13,

2005).   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
