PER CURIAM:
Santos Cruz Lopez-Hernandez, a native and citizen of El
Salvador, petitions for review of an order of the Board of
Immigration Appeals (“Board”) denying his motion to reopen
deportation proceedings. We have reviewed the record and the
Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse its discretion
in denying Lopez-Hernandez’s motion to reopen. See 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(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: Lopez-Hernandez, No. A70-294-398 (B.I.A.
Dec. 17, 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
