PER CURIAM:
Messay Alem Addis, a native and citizen of Ethiopia, petitions
for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals. The
order denied his motion to reconsider the Board’s denial of his
motion to reopen his deportation proceedings before the immigration
judge whose previous denial of Addis’s applications for asylum and
withholding of removal the Board affirmed. We have reviewed the
record and the Board’s order and find that the Board did not abuse
its discretion in denying Addis’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: Addis, No. A29-
697-658 (B.I.A. Mar. 4, 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
