PER CURIAM:

           Sikod Basung, a native and citizen of Cameroon, petitions

for   review   of   an   order   of   the   Board   of   Immigration   Appeals

(“Board”) denying his motion to reopen and to reconsider its

previous order affirming, without opinion, the immigration judge’s

denial of asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the

Convention Against Torture.           We have reviewed the record and the

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

in denying Basung’s motion.            See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2004).

Accordingly, we deny the petition for review on the reasoning of

the Board.     See In re: Basung, No. A79-235-632 (B.I.A. Aug. 17,

2004).   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
