PER CURIAM:
Alehubel Teshome, 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 reconsider the Board’s dismissal of
his appeal from the Immigration Judge’s order denying his
applications for asylum and withholding of deportation. We have
reviewed the record and the Board’s order and find that the Board
did not abuse its discretion in denying Teshome’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:
Teshome, No. A72-378-084 (BIA Oct. 3, 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
