PER CURIAM:
Sukhdev Singh, a native and citizen of India, petitions
for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
affirming, without opinion, the immigration judge’s order denying
his motion to reopen immigration proceedings. Based on our review
of the record, we find that the immigration judge did not abuse his
discretion in denying Singh’s motion to reopen as untimely. Singh
failed to file his motion within 180 days of his in absentia
removal order as required by 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(b)(5)(C)(i) (2000)
and 8 C.F.R. § 1003.23(b)(4)(ii) (2005). Accordingly, we deny the
petition for review. 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
