PER CURIAM:

          Hong Cheng, a native and citizen of China, petitions for

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

denying as untimely his motion to reopen immigration proceedings.

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

Board did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reopen.

See 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: Cheng, No. A70-583-458 (B.I.A. Dec. 20, 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
