PER CURIAM:
Ibrahim Mohammed Hassen, a native and citizen of Ethiopia,
petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration
Appeals (“Board”). The order denied his motion to reopen the
Board’s dismissal of his appeal from the immigration judge’s order
denying his applications for asylum and suspension of deportation.
We have reviewed the administrative record and the Board’s order
and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying
Hassen’s motion to reopen. See 8 C.F.R. § 3.2(a) (2003); INS v.
Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323-24 (1992). Accordingly, we deny the
petition for review on the reasoning of the Board. See In re:
Hassen, No. A29-694-250 (B.I.A. Sept. 9, 2002). 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
