PER CURIAM:
Sekouba Faty, a native and citizen of Mali, petitions for
review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”).
The order denied his motion to reconsider the Board’s dismissal of
his appeal from the immigration judge’s order denying his
applications for asylum and withholding of removal. We have
reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find that the Board
did not abuse its discretion in denying Faty’s motion to
reconsider. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a) (2003). Accordingly, we deny
the petition for review on the reasoning of the Board. See In re:
Faty, No. A70-504-622 (B.I.A. Jan. 13, 2003). 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
