PER CURIAM:
Richard Apongwa Chungong, a native of Cameroon, seeks review
of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“Board”) decision to deny his
motion to reopen his deportation proceedings for the purpose of
applying for suspension of deportation and asylum. Our review of
the record discloses that the Board properly denied Chungong’s
motion to reconsider and motion to reopen his deportation proceed-
ings and that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm
on the reasoning of the Board. See In re: Richard Apongwa Chungong,
No. A70-302-326 (BIA Oct. 18, 1999). We dispense with oral argu-
ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court and argument would not
aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
