PER CURIAM:

            Kenneth N. Ugochukwu, a native and citizen of Nigeria,

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,

323-34 (1992); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(4)(ii) (2006).            Accordingly,

we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the

Board.    See In Re: Ugochukwu, No. A72-384-084 (B.I.A. July 25,

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
